# DNGRZ vs Elevator Sorting

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Elevator Sorting at 16K against DNGRZ's 8. Elevator Sorting also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DNGRZ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Elevator Sorting sells 10 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 — 4.5 for DNGRZ against 4.6 for Elevator Sorting. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Elevator Sorting has 16K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two.
