# Color Block Jam vs Sort Dash

The clearest difference is update cadence: Color Block Jam at every 4 days against Sort Dash's fortnightly. Color Block Jam also leads on chart position (#22 vs unranked) and ratings volume (142K vs 18K). Sort Dash's advantage is review sentiment (36% vs 23%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Color Block Jam sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Sort Dash sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sort Dash holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Color Block Jam has 142K ratings behind it against 18K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 23% of Color Block Jam's written reviews are positive against 36% of Sort Dash's.

Color Block Jam ships an update every 4 days, Sort Dash fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 7, 2026.
