# Color Dots! vs Island Sort

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Color Dots! at 3K against Island Sort's 205. Island Sort's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and review sentiment (31% vs 22%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Color Dots! sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and Island Sort sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for Color Dots! against 4.3 for Island Sort. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Color Dots! has 3K ratings behind it against 205, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 22% of Color Dots!'s written reviews are positive against 31% of Island Sort's.

Color Dots! ships an update every 6 weeks, Island Sort every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
