# MEGA vs Yoti

The clearest difference is rating: MEGA at 4.6 against Yoti's 4.0. MEGA also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly) and ratings volume (109K vs 13K). Yoti's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price, monetization model, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MEGA sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.49 per month. Yoti asks for nothing beyond the download.

MEGA holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MEGA has 109K ratings behind it against 13K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 46% of MEGA's written reviews are positive against 35% of Yoti's.

MEGA ships an update every 2 weeks, Yoti monthly. Both last shipped on November 9, 2026.
