# Sortime vs Ordember

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ordember at none against Sortime's 29. Ordember also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). Sortime's advantage is ratings volume (13K vs 1) and chart position (#93 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sortime sells 25 one-off in-app purchases. Ordember asks for nothing beyond the download.

Ordember holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sortime has 13K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Sortime ships an update every 3 weeks, Ordember every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
