# Yandex Navi vs CoPilot GPS Navigation

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.

Both are free to download. Yandex Navi sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and CoPilot GPS Navigation sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Yandex Navi holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Yandex Navi has 28K ratings behind it against 2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 35% and 35% positive.

Yandex Navi ships an update weekly, CoPilot GPS Navigation every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
