# НГС vs Ведомости

The clearest difference is rating: Ведомости at 4.3 against НГС's 3.6. Ведомости also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (67 vs 8). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. НГС sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 per month and Ведомости sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $8.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Ведомости holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ведомости has 67 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 20% of НГС's written reviews are positive against 31% of Ведомости's.

НГС ships an update every 3 weeks, Ведомости monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
