Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bot Trigger at none against Mars's 10. Bot Trigger also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). Mars's advantage is ratings volume (22K vs 1). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mars 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 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mars has 22K 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 91% of Mars's.
Bot Trigger ships an update fortnightly, Mars monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
