# Lyra vs Русско

The clearest difference is rating: Lyra at 4.9 against Русско's 3.0. Lyra also leads on ratings volume (24 vs 2) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). Русско's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and review sentiment (100% vs 86%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lyra sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Русско asks for nothing beyond the download.

Lyra holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lyra has 24 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Lyra's written reviews are positive against 100% of Русско's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Lyra ships an update every 5 weeks, Русско every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
