MegaFon focuses on voice AND data. It is federal operator, working in almost all regions except Crimea. MegaFon was the first who covered Chechnya region and Grozny, Solovki islands and some other places where no other operators ever worked.

You can choose any plan you want in MegaFon - without monthly fee, for long range calling, for lots of texting, etc.

Yota focuses on advanced data users. There is no plain voice packages on Yota. Only combo bundles with data. There is no simple plans without monthly fee on Yota. Their main product is smartphone internet plan with some add-ons like local calls and SMS.

In some regions there is no Yota coverage because there is no licensed permits for Yota brand to work there - but MegaFon works.

Also Yota offers its own special product - "Only Data" (for PC) modems and routers with really unlimited data with some restrictions (P2P throttled down and some others).
