# Elele vs NOWHERE

The clearest difference is rating: Elele at 4.6 against NOWHERE's 4.0. Elele also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 4). NOWHERE's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 19) and ads (none vs shown). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

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

Elele holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Elele has 1.5K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Elele's written reviews are positive against 93% of NOWHERE's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Elele ships an update monthly, NOWHERE every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
