# Yandex Mail vs BossNote

The clearest difference is rating: Yandex Mail at 4.8 against BossNote's 4.0. Yandex Mail also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (14K vs 16). BossNote's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (68% vs 47%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Yandex Mail sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month and BossNote sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Yandex Mail holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Yandex Mail has 14K ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of Yandex Mail's written reviews are positive against 68% of BossNote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Yandex Mail ships an update every 2 weeks, BossNote every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and August 11, 2026 respectively.
