# Alias vs Элиас

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Alias at none against Элиас's 14. Alias also leads on ratings volume (184 vs 13) and chart position (#209 vs unranked). Элиас's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Элиас sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. Alias asks for nothing beyond the download.

Элиас holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Alias has 184 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 79% of Alias's written reviews are positive against 85% of Элиас's.

Alias ships an update every 2 months, Элиас fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
