# World Quiz vs Sorting History

The clearest difference is update cadence: Sorting History at every 6 days against World Quiz's every 2 months. Sorting History also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 78%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). World Quiz's advantage is ratings volume (21K vs 33) and chart position (#39 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. World Quiz sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Sorting History sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sorting History holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: World Quiz has 21K ratings behind it against 33, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 78% of World Quiz's written reviews are positive against 100% of Sorting History's.

World Quiz ships an update every 2 months, Sorting History every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
