Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Guhemba at none against My's shown. Guhemba also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). My's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 7) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Guhemba holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My has 1.2K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 90% of My's written reviews are positive against 100% of Guhemba's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

My ships an update monthly, Guhemba every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
