Verdict

The call

Sequences's advantage is price (Free vs $0.99) and rating (5.0 vs 3.9). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Sequences holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Categories has 14 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Categories's written reviews are positive against 0% of Sequences's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Categories ships an update every 10 days, Sequences every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
