Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Republic Services holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Republic Services has 3.3K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 10% of Republic Services's written reviews are positive against 25% of WREC's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Republic Services ships an update every 2 months, WREC every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
