Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: GPS at weekly against Yandex Metro's every 2 months. GPS also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (71% vs 53%). Yandex Metro's advantage is ratings volume (855 vs 4) and chart position (#146 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
