Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bot Trigger at none against PAC's 10. Bot Trigger also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). PAC's advantage is ratings volume (21K vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PAC sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Bot Trigger asks for nothing beyond the download.
Bot Trigger holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PAC has 21K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Bot Trigger's written reviews are positive against 88% of PAC's.
Bot Trigger ships an update fortnightly, PAC every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
