# Circle Sort vs Into the Hole!

The clearest difference is rating: Into the Hole! at 4.7 against Circle Sort's 4.0. Into the Hole! also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 10) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). Circle Sort's advantage is review sentiment (60% vs 18%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Circle Sort sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and Into the Hole! sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Into the Hole! holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Into the Hole! has 1.3K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Circle Sort's written reviews are positive against 18% of Into the Hole!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Circle Sort ships an update monthly, Into the Hole! every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
