Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Sortly at free with in-app purchases against BoxKit's subscription. Sortly also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (9.5K vs 652). BoxKit's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sortly sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and BoxKit sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
