# РБК Новости vs vc.ru

The clearest difference is review sentiment: РБК Новости at 83% against vc.ru's 35%. РБК Новости also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (1.8K vs 64). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. РБК Новости sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and vc.ru sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.29 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

РБК Новости holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: РБК Новости has 1.8K ratings behind it against 64, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 83% of РБК Новости's written reviews are positive against 35% of vc.ru's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
