# Candy Cup! vs Crowd Sort

The clearest difference is rating: Candy Cup! at 3.7 against Crowd Sort's 2.6. Candy Cup! also leads on ratings volume (183 vs 8) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). Crowd Sort's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and review sentiment (44% vs 29%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Candy Cup! sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Crowd Sort asks for nothing beyond the download.

Candy Cup! holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Candy Cup! has 183 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Candy Cup!'s written reviews are positive against 44% of Crowd Sort's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Candy Cup! ships an update every 6 weeks, Crowd Sort every 3 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
