# Sort Master vs Water Sort

The clearest difference is rating: Water Sort at 5.0 against Sort Master's 4.3. Sort Master's advantage is ratings volume (21 vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sort Master sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Water Sort sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Water Sort holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sort Master has 21 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Sort Master ships an update every 2 months, Water Sort every 5 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
