# Ball Sort Master vs Ball sort!

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Ball sort! at 100% against Ball Sort Master's 68%. Ball Sort Master's advantage is ratings volume (6.9K vs 117) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ball Sort Master sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Ball sort! sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Ball Sort Master holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ball Sort Master has 6.9K ratings behind it against 117, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Ball Sort Master's written reviews are positive against 100% of Ball sort!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Ball Sort Master ships an update every 6 weeks, Ball sort! every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
