Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Elaris at 2.6 against elyra's 2.0. elyra's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Elaris sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and elyra sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $9.90 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Elaris holds the better App Store score, 2.6 against 2.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 19 and 13 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 10% of Elaris's written reviews are positive against 13% of elyra's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Elaris ships an update every 2 weeks, elyra fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 16, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
