# Cook Sort vs Sortlings

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Sortlings at 100% against Cook Sort's 27%. Sortlings also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 weeks). Cook Sort's advantage is ratings volume (748 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.5 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cook Sort sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Sortlings sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
