Yandex ID is the updated app that replaces Yandex Key. It makes sign-in to Yandex services faster and easier. There are no passwords to remember or SMS messages to wait for — the app instantly delivers a one-time code or image. With Yandex ID, you can also manage all your account information, as it keeps all your data and settings in one place. INSTANT LOGIN WITHOUT PASSWORDS Sign in by entering a code or tapping an image — it takes seconds. No passwords, no SMS messages, no push notifications. Your digital key is securely linked to your account and can only be used by you. 2FA AUTHENTICATOR Yandex ID works as a secure authenticator with two-factor authentication (2FA) and one-time password (OTP) support. Use it to logging for services that rely on one-time passwords. If you have used Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator before, you will find this app familiar. Code generation follows international OTP/TOTP standards. MANAGE ACCOUNTS IN ONE APP The new app also works as a password and access manager for all your Yandex accounts. Manage your data, documents, devices, payments and permissions all in one place. You can share subscriptions, control purchases, set spending limits and create a secure child account with content filtering. BACKUP & RECOVERY Create a secure cloud backup and restore it using your phone number when needed. You can also save a local backup file to safely transfer 2FA accounts. Try Yandex ID, a single app combining a 2FA TOTP authenticator, password management and access to your Yandex ID account.

You can track point in time from the: - Dynamic island (on supported devices) - Live activity on the lock screen - Lock screen widgets - Home screen widgets Examples: - Countdown until Christmas - Time since you called mum - How long left until your birthday - How long since you've planted those seedlings - Months left until that big vacation - Years since you've touched a cigarette - Days left until the next Genshin Impact release - Days since you've had a cuddle - How long until the next Doctor Who episode - How long you've been alive for This app is deliberately minimalistic to allow you to only track just a single moment in time, your most important moment.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Point in time at 100% against Yandex ID's 30%. Yandex ID's advantage is ratings volume (313 vs 5) and rating (4.6 vs 4.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
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 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Yandex ID has 313 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Yandex ID's written reviews are positive against 100% of Point in time's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
