# Elyon vs Joy

The clearest difference is rating: Joy at 5.0 against Elyon's 2.0. Joy also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). Elyon's advantage is ratings volume (43 vs 1) and chart position (#165 vs unranked). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Elyon sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Joy asks for nothing beyond the download.

Joy holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Elyon has 43 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
