Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NGTMap at none against Yandex Navi's 13. NGTMap also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Yandex Navi's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (28K vs 1). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
