Founded by an Ivorian American born in the U.S - An app that lets you find Black Owned Businesses from the entire Black Diaspora conveniently in one place, and also lets you help the community through Mutual Aid. (Some people asked that I update the descriptions so people can know which ethnicity created the app before downloading, so people can choose whether they'd like to download it or not. This is the reason the descriptions and subtitles have been updated- not as a boast)

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Miiriya at every 4 days against EwaShea's every 2 months. Miiriya also leads on ratings volume (121 vs 1). EwaShea's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
