Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: myGov at 2.3 against ALDI Mobile's 1.8. ALDI Mobile's advantage is review sentiment (16% vs 6%) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.6). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

myGov holds the better App Store score, 2.3 against 1.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 17 and 18 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 16% of ALDI Mobile's written reviews are positive against 6% of myGov's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ALDI Mobile ships an update every 2 months, myGov monthly. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
