Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Divvify at 5.0 against EthioDirect's 2.0. EthioDirect's advantage is ratings volume (114 vs 1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Divvify holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EthioDirect has 114 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
