ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Ball Sort holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ball Sort has 49K ratings behind it against 516, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Sort Stack's written reviews are positive against 51% of Ball Sort's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Sort Stack ships an update monthly, Ball Sort every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on August 11, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
