# Yandex ID vs Multifactor

The clearest difference is rating: Multifactor at 5.0 against Yandex ID's 4.6. Multifactor also leads on iOS requirement (13 vs 15.0). Yandex ID's advantage is ratings volume (279 vs 4) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Multifactor holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Yandex ID has 279 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of Yandex ID's written reviews are positive against 20% of Multifactor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Yandex ID ships an update every 2 weeks, Multifactor every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
