i rather you get ramhorn snails, they are much better algae eaters

Nature aquarium at thomson has them in the back tanks where the plants are. Or you could just ask around and see if anyone has any to give away.
then again, apparently you're in the US so not sure if anyone here can help you with that.

what is the use of this snail?

MTS are used to keep the substrate "fresh". They do help in maintaining the gravel bed, but because they are livebearing, they can quickly overrun a fish tank.
