# Sortly vs Inventory Count

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Inventory Count at 100% against Sortly's 58%. Inventory Count also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.5). Sortly's advantage is ratings volume (9.5K vs 7) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, update cadence, 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 Inventory Count sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sortly holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sortly has 9.5K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Sortly's written reviews are positive against 100% of Inventory Count's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Sortly ships an update weekly, Inventory Count every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
