# Elle Italy vs Class

The clearest difference is ads: Elle Italy at none against Class's shown. Elle Italy also leads on review sentiment (15% vs 0%). Class's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Elle Italy sells 40 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Class sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Elle Italy ships an update every 5 months, Class every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
