# Свобода vs vc.ru

The clearest difference is rating: vc.ru at 4.5 against Свобода's 3.4. vc.ru also leads on ratings volume (64 vs 18). Свобода's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and review sentiment (46% vs 35%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. vc.ru sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.29 per month. Свобода asks for nothing beyond the download.

vc.ru holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 18 and 64 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Свобода's written reviews are positive against 35% of vc.ru's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Свобода ships an update every 2 months, vc.ru every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
