# Mi Telcel vs Mi Policía

The clearest difference is ads: Mi Policía at none against Mi Telcel's shown. Mi Policía also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Mi Telcel's advantage is ratings volume (2.7K vs 11) and rating (2.8 vs 2.5). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Mi Telcel holds the better App Store score, 2.8 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mi Telcel has 2.7K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 4% of Mi Telcel's written reviews are positive against 11% of Mi Policía's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Mi Telcel ships an update fortnightly, Mi Policía every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
