# Color Hole 3D vs Elevator Sorting

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Color Hole 3D at 384K against Elevator Sorting's 16K. Color Hole 3D also leads on review sentiment (44% vs 32%). Elevator Sorting's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Color Hole 3D 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 Color Hole 3D against 4.6 for Elevator Sorting. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Color Hole 3D has 384K ratings behind it against 16K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 44% of Color Hole 3D's written reviews are positive against 32% of Elevator Sorting's.

Color Hole 3D ships an update every 2 months, Elevator Sorting every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 14, 2026.
