Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
ELEHEAR holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ELEHEAR has 99 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Ceretone's written reviews are positive against 46% of ELEHEAR's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Ceretone ships an update every 3 months, ELEHEAR fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on June 4, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
