# Line Puzzle vs Sort It 3D

Line Puzzle and Sort It 3D both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 83% of Line Puzzle's written reviews are positive against 47% of Sort It 3D's. Sort It 3D's advantage is ratings volume (394K vs 29K) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Line Puzzle sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Sort It 3D sells 3 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 — 4.7 for Line Puzzle against 4.6 for Sort It 3D. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sort It 3D has 394K ratings behind it against 29K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 83% of Line Puzzle's written reviews are positive against 47% of Sort It 3D's.

Line Puzzle ships an update weekly, Sort It 3D fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
