Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Radio FM at 4.4 against Яндекс Радио's 3.2. Radio FM also leads on ratings volume (174 vs 16) and device support (4 vs 1). Яндекс Радио's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 11) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Radio FM sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Яндекс Радио asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Radio FM holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Radio FM has 174 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Radio FM's written reviews are positive against 64% of Яндекс Радио's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Radio FM ships an update every 3 weeks, Яндекс Радио weekly. Both last shipped on September 27, 2026.
