# Yandex ID vs Телекома

The clearest difference is rating: Yandex ID at 4.6 against Телекома's 4.2. Yandex ID also leads on ratings volume (279 vs 5) and device support (3 vs 1). Телекома's advantage is review sentiment (57% vs 31%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Yandex ID has 279 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of Yandex ID's written reviews are positive against 57% of Телекома'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, Телекома fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
