# Matexo vs Sort Collector

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sort Collector at none against Matexo's 4. Sort Collector also leads on ratings volume (2.2K vs 356). Matexo's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Matexo sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Sort Collector asks for nothing beyond the download.
