Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Sorted at none against Sort Jam's shown. Sorted also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks). Sort Jam's advantage is ratings volume (21K vs 2) and chart position (#165 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
