Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: My Hormuud at 100% against eDir's 50%. My Hormuud also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). eDir's advantage is rating (4.1 vs 3.7) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
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.
eDir holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: eDir has 21 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of My Hormuud's written reviews are positive against 50% of eDir's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
