# Sortly vs Inventory Management

The clearest difference is rating: Sortly at 4.7 against Inventory Management's 3.7. Sortly also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (9.5K vs 3). Inventory Management's advantage is review sentiment (92% vs 58%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.5). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sortly sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Inventory Management sells 1 in-app purchase, 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 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sortly has 9.5K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Sortly's written reviews are positive against 92% of Inventory Management's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
