# Jigsolitaire vs Category Sort

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Jigsolitaire at none against Category Sort's 11. Jigsolitaire also leads on review sentiment (46% vs 31%) and ratings volume (74K vs 12K). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Category Sort sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Jigsolitaire asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Jigsolitaire against 4.8 for Category Sort. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Jigsolitaire has 74K ratings behind it against 12K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 46% of Jigsolitaire's written reviews are positive against 31% of Category Sort's.

Jigsolitaire ships an update every 10 days, Category Sort fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 16, 2026.
