Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: eFone at 5.0 against SendHub's 3.3. eFone also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 5 weeks). SendHub's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (13 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support 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.
eFone holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SendHub has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of SendHub's written reviews are positive against 56% of eFone's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SendHub ships an update every 5 weeks, eFone every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
