Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
LawnStarter holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LawnStarter has 16K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 15% of LawnStarter's written reviews are positive against 28% of OneNeighbor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
LawnStarter ships an update weekly, OneNeighbor every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
