# Elele vs Flash

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Flash at 100% against Elele's 64%. Flash also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 19) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Elele's advantage is ratings volume (1.5K vs 3). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Elele sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $2.89 per 7 days. Flash asks for nothing beyond the download.

Flash holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Elele has 1.5K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 64% of Elele's written reviews are positive against 100% of Flash's.

Elele ships an update monthly, Flash fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
