# Emergency Plus vs myGov

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Emergency Plus at 49% against myGov's 6%. Emergency Plus also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.5). myGov's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (19 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Emergency Plus holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: myGov has 19 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 49% of Emergency Plus's written reviews are positive against 6% of myGov's.

Emergency Plus ships an update every 9 months, myGov monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
