# Pixel Color vs Spring Sort

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Pixel Color at 2.3K against Spring Sort's 13. Pixel Color also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Spring Sort's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pixel Color sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Spring Sort sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Pixel Color against 4.8 for Spring Sort. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pixel Color has 2.3K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Pixel Color ships an update every 2 months, Spring Sort every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 15, 2026 respectively.
