# Yandex Mail vs BuildChecklists

The clearest difference is ads: BuildChecklists at none against Yandex Mail's shown. BuildChecklists also leads on review sentiment (69% vs 46%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Yandex Mail's advantage is ratings volume (16K vs 2). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Yandex Mail sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month and BuildChecklists sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $17.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

BuildChecklists holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Yandex Mail has 16K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 46% of Yandex Mail's written reviews are positive against 69% of BuildChecklists's.

Yandex Mail ships an update every 10 days, BuildChecklists every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
