# Sort Jam vs Sorted

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 (#164 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sort Jam sells 13 one-off in-app purchases and Sorted sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sorted holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sort Jam has 21K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of Sort Jam's written reviews are positive against 100% of Sorted's.

Sort Jam ships an update every 2 weeks, Sorted every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
