# Телекома vs Zero Balance

The clearest difference is rating: Zero Balance at 4.3 against Телекома's 3.7. Zero Balance also leads on ratings volume (206 vs 6) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). Телекома's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 13). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Zero Balance sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Телекома asks for nothing beyond the download.

Zero Balance holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Zero Balance has 206 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Телекома's written reviews are positive against 48% of Zero Balance's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Телекома ships an update fortnightly, Zero Balance every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
