Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Chamala at 4.6 against Русско's 3.0. Chamala also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (7 vs 2). Русско's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 70%). 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.
Chamala holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 7 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Русско's written reviews are positive against 70% of Chamala's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Русско ships an update every 3 months, Chamala every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
