Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: EduSwarm at none against MyU's 7. EduSwarm also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). MyU's advantage is ratings volume (23K vs 1). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MyU sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. EduSwarm asks for nothing beyond the download.
EduSwarm holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyU has 23K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
MyU ships an update every 8 days, EduSwarm fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
