# Ведомости vs 72.ru

The clearest difference is rating: 72.ru at 5.0 against Ведомости's 4.3. 72.ru also leads on review sentiment (47% vs 31%). Ведомости's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (67 vs 2). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ведомости sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $8.49 per month and 72.ru sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

72.ru holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ведомости has 67 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 31% of Ведомости's written reviews are positive against 47% of 72.ru's.

Ведомости ships an update monthly, 72.ru every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
