Sending money back home regularly — what's actually cheapest, or does it depend too much on the country pair?

I send money home fairly regularly and the options all seem to have different trade-offs — traditional bank transfer, dedicated remittance apps, digital wallets. Is there an actual "best" answer or does it just depend heavily on which two countries are involved?

senegal side: my family prefers mobile money, so the service that sends straight to a phone wins even when the rate is a bit worse. what works at the receiving end matters
