# Sortime vs Sort Mania

The clearest difference is rating: Sortime at 4.8 against Sort Mania's 4.5. Sortime also leads on ratings volume (14K vs 308) and chart position (#100 vs unranked). Sort Mania's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

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

Sortime holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sortime has 14K ratings behind it against 308, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of Sortime's written reviews are positive against 37% of Sort Mania's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Sortime ships an update every 3 weeks, Sort Mania weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
