Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Elementra at free with in-app purchases against Annulus's subscription. Elementra also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 28%). Annulus's advantage is ratings volume (23 vs 3) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Elementra sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Annulus sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Annulus holds the better App Store score, 2.8 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Annulus has 23 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Elementra's written reviews are positive against 28% of Annulus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Elementra ships an update weekly, Annulus every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
