# Yandex ID vs Телеком

The clearest difference is rating: Yandex ID at 4.6 against Телеком's 2.0. Yandex ID also leads on ratings volume (318 vs 4) and update cadence (fortnightly 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.

Yandex ID holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Yandex ID has 318 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 30% of Yandex ID's written reviews are positive against 20% of Телеком's.

Yandex ID ships an update fortnightly, Телеком every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
