Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Yandex Navi at 4.7 against CoPilot GPS Navigation's 3.5. Yandex Navi also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (28K vs 2K). CoPilot GPS Navigation's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
