# EggSort vs ISLANDERS

The clearest difference is price: EggSort at Free against ISLANDERS's $4.99. EggSort also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 65%) and iOS requirement (14.5 vs 16.0). ISLANDERS's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.2) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

EggSort is free to download; ISLANDERS costs $4.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ISLANDERS holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ISLANDERS has 29 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of EggSort's written reviews are positive against 65% of ISLANDERS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

EggSort ships an update every 6 weeks, ISLANDERS every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
