# Sort It 3D vs 3 Dots

The clearest difference is update cadence: Sort It 3D at fortnightly against 3 Dots's monthly. Sort It 3D also leads on review sentiment (47% vs 34%) and ratings volume (394K vs 78K). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sort It 3D sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and 3 Dots sells 15 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 — 4.6 for Sort It 3D against 4.7 for 3 Dots. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sort It 3D has 394K ratings behind it against 78K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 47% of Sort It 3D's written reviews are positive against 34% of 3 Dots's.

Sort It 3D ships an update fortnightly, 3 Dots monthly. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
