MoneyGram vs Xoom
Both are compared on 64 of the same corridors on this site, sending from the USA, the UK, Canada and Australia. This page sets the two side by side on every one of them — what each pays out to, how fast, and where a like-for-like amount was checked, which one actually delivered more.
There is no score here and no overall winner. Every line is read from the corridor page it came from, where the row was checked against the provider's own page for that route. Nothing on this page was written by hand, which is why none of it can go quietly out of date: when the research behind a figure lapses, the figure disappears rather than ageing in place.

The last row of each card is the one most easily misread. A longer list of documented absences is not a worse provider — it records how thoroughly that provider's own coverage has been swept here. A provider whose destination list has been checked route by route accumulates absences in writing; one that has not been swept simply has fewer written down. Read each line as a fact about that route, never the two totals against each other.
Where both were priced at the same amount
On 1 of the 64 shared corridors, both providers were quoted at the same send amount on the same day. MoneyGram delivered more on 1, Xoom on 0.
That is a count of corridors where a measurement exists, not a ranking of the two companies. It covers a bank transfer at the site benchmark of $1,000 and says nothing about cash pickup or wallet payouts, which are priced differently. The figures come from the Wise Comparison API, a source operated by a company this site also ranks. Rates move daily; open a provider for a live quote before sending.

Where each was checked and found not to serve the route
No provider publishes this about itself. Each line is a route where the provider was checked against its own pages and recorded as not serving it, with the reason found at the time. The counts are not comparable between the two: they measure how much of each provider's coverage has been swept, not how many gaps each one has.
MoneyGram — 9 recorded
- the UK → Afghanistan — its UK-to-Afghanistan page could not be freshly verified this session — two independent attempts returned a server error rather than a clean 404, so its status is unresolved rather than confirmed absent Source
- the UAE → Nepal — its UAE presence is agent-based and its UAE pages name no destination countries and publish no fee schedule, so there is nothing corridor-specific to point a reader at Source

It still carries Qatari money: Ooredoo Money names MoneyGram as one of the partners behind its own app, so the network is reachable in Qatar only through somebody else's shopfront. Source
