Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Bloom Sort at Free against Powernode's $1.99. Bloom Sort also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.8) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 months). Powernode's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 23) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.

Bloom Sort is free to download; Powernode costs $1.99 up front. Bloom Sort sells 23 one-off in-app purchases. Powernode asks for nothing beyond the download.
Bloom Sort holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bloom Sort has 2.8K ratings behind it against 51, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of Powernode's written reviews are positive against 16% of Bloom Sort's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Powernode ships an update every 5 months, Bloom Sort every 4 days. Both last shipped on September 27, 2026.
