# Elevator Sorting vs Bloom Sort

The clearest difference is update cadence: Bloom Sort at every 4 days against Elevator Sorting's every 2 weeks. Elevator Sorting's advantage is review sentiment (32% vs 16%) and ratings volume (16K vs 2.8K). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Elevator Sorting sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and Bloom Sort sells 23 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
