# Spring Sort vs Screw Out 3D

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Screw Out 3D at 58% against Spring Sort's 40%. Screw Out 3D also leads on chart position (#27 vs #103). Spring Sort's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.7). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spring Sort sells 22 one-off in-app purchases and Screw Out 3D sells 21 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Spring Sort holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 21K and 31K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Spring Sort's written reviews are positive against 58% of Screw Out 3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Spring Sort ships an update every 4 weeks, Screw Out 3D every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 26, 2026.
