# Magic Sort vs Sort Jam

The clearest difference is ads: Magic Sort at none against Sort Jam's shown. Sort Jam's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 53%) and chart position (#156 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Magic Sort sells 36 one-off in-app purchases and Sort Jam 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 — 4.7 for Magic Sort against 4.6 for Sort Jam. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sort Jam has 21K ratings behind it against 3.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two.
