# Hexa Sort vs Screw Pin Puzzle

The clearest difference is rating: Screw Pin Puzzle at 4.9 against Hexa Sort's 4.7. Screw Pin Puzzle also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). Hexa Sort's advantage is chart position (#35 vs unranked) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 9 days). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hexa Sort sells 22 one-off in-app purchases and Screw Pin Puzzle sells 18 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Screw Pin Puzzle holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hexa Sort has 219K ratings behind it against 33K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of Hexa Sort's written reviews are positive against 14% of Screw Pin Puzzle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Hexa Sort ships an update every 4 days, Screw Pin Puzzle every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
