# Face Sort vs Ball sort!

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Face Sort at none against Ball sort!'s 15. Face Sort also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 4 weeks) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Ball sort!'s advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 84%). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ball sort! sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. Face Sort asks for nothing beyond the download.

Face Sort holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Face Sort has 1.5K ratings behind it against 117, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Face Sort's written reviews are positive against 100% of Ball sort!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Face Sort ships an update weekly, Ball sort! every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
