# Radio FM vs Яндекс Радио

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.

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.

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