# Element Flow vs Adopt Me

The clearest difference is rating: Element Flow at 3.4 against Adopt Me's 2.7. Element Flow also leads on ratings volume (1.9K vs 6). Adopt Me's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Element Flow sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Adopt Me asks for nothing beyond the download.

Element Flow holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Element Flow has 1.9K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of Element Flow's written reviews are positive against 29% of Adopt Me's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
