# Ball sort! vs Ball Sort Genius

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Ball sort! at 100% against Ball Sort Genius's 50%. Ball sort! also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months). Ball Sort Genius's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ball sort! sells 15 one-off in-app purchases and Ball Sort Genius sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Ball Sort Genius holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 138 and 81 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Ball sort!'s written reviews are positive against 50% of Ball Sort Genius's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Ball sort! ships an update every 4 weeks, Ball Sort Genius every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
