# Landing Confirmed vs Ellipse

The clearest difference is update cadence: Ellipse at monthly against Landing Confirmed's every 4 months. Ellipse also leads on ratings volume (2K vs 105). Landing Confirmed's advantage is review sentiment (91% vs 76%) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Landing Confirmed sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Ellipse sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Landing Confirmed against 4.7 for Ellipse. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ellipse has 2K ratings behind it against 105, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 91% of Landing Confirmed's written reviews are positive against 76% of Ellipse's.

Landing Confirmed ships an update every 4 months, Ellipse monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
