Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: LETS ELEVATOR at 4.3 against Elevator Operator's 3.0. LETS ELEVATOR also leads on review sentiment (89% vs 50%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 38 months). Elevator Operator's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
