Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: AGL at 4.7 against myGov's 2.3. AGL also leads on review sentiment (42% vs 6%) and ratings volume (52K vs 18). myGov's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
AGL holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AGL has 52K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 6% of myGov's written reviews are positive against 42% of AGL's.
myGov ships an update monthly, AGL every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
