# iGuides.ru vs Ведомости

The clearest difference is price: Ведомости at Free against iGuides.ru's $1.99. Ведомости also leads on rating (4.3 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (67 vs 2). iGuides.ru's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 31%). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Ведомости is free to download; iGuides.ru costs $1.99 up front. iGuides.ru sells 2 one-off in-app purchases 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 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ведомости has 67 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of iGuides.ru's written reviews are positive against 31% of Ведомости's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

iGuides.ru ships an update every 6 weeks, Ведомости monthly. Both last shipped on October 26, 2026.
