Both are free to download. Island Sort sells 13 one-off in-app purchases and Beads Out sells 21 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Beads Out holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Beads Out has 23K ratings behind it against 166, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Island Sort's written reviews are positive against 27% of Beads Out's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Island Sort ships an update every 3 weeks, Beads Out weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 8, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
