For more than seven decades, UNHCR, in collaboration with States and partners, has been collecting data on refugees, stateless people and others who have been forced to flee. With the help of quality and timely data, we and our partners are able to make informed decisions, manage resources more effectively, inform communications and advocacy and demonstrate accountability to beneficiaries, partners and donors. UNHCR currently generates and uses different types of data and statistics on refugees and other forced displacement, affected populations and stateless persons, such as information on: The humanitarian situation and the wider environment (including social, economic, political, legal and policy); The people affected by the situation (particularly their numbers, location and profile, including if they have any specific vulnerabilities and needs); and Operational information on delivery of protection and assistance of a given response to the situation

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Fayda ID at 83% against Refugee Data's 0%. Fayda ID also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (18 vs 3). Refugee Data's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.8) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.6). 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.
Refugee Data holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fayda ID has 18 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Refugee Data's written reviews are positive against 83% of Fayda ID's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Refugee Data ships an update every 12 months, Fayda ID monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
