Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Sorting Stacks holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sorting Stacks has 50 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Sand Sort's written reviews are positive against 0% of Sorting Stacks's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Sand Sort ships an update every 9 days, Sorting Stacks fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
