# Hole Pool vs Elevator Drop!

Hole Pool and Elevator Drop! both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Elevator Drop!'s written reviews are positive against 45% of Hole Pool's. Hole Pool's advantage is ratings volume (1.8K vs 43). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hole Pool sells 18 one-off in-app purchases and Elevator Drop! sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Hole Pool against 4.9 for Elevator Drop!. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hole Pool has 1.8K ratings behind it against 43, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 45% of Hole Pool's written reviews are positive against 100% of Elevator Drop!'s.

Hole Pool ships an update every 2 weeks, Elevator Drop! fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
