Élan writes your replies, inside the keyboard you already type with. Dating apps, Instagram DMs, iMessage, or a message from a recruiter — Élan reads the conversation and writes a reply worth sending. No copy-paste, no switching apps, no pasting a screenshot somewhere else. You stay in the chat. HOW IT WORKS Turn on the Élan keyboard, tap a tone, and the suggestions appear right above the keys. Tap one and it types straight into the message field. Three taps, start to finish, without leaving the conversation. SIX TONES Flirty when you want to make a move. Funny when you want to make them laugh. Casual when you are just getting started. Confident when it is time to ask them out. Sincere when you mean it. And Professional, for the recruiter, the client, or the colleague who needs a reply you would not be embarrassed by. NOT AUTOCOMPLETE Every suggestion picks up on something real from the profile or the conversation — a photo, a joke, the thing they said two messages ago. It never reads like a canned line, because it was not written before it saw the chat. Want it shorter, or want to work in a detail? Add a quick note and Élan rewrites on the spot. WHY PEOPLE USE IT Replies that reference the actual conversation, not a template. Six tones, including a professional one for work. A keyboard that works inside the apps you already use. A voice that sounds human. Your screenshots are never stored. You always choose what to send. Élan writes the draft; you make the move.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Élan at 100% against Covey Homes's 38%. Élan also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Covey Homes's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ads (none vs shown). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
