# Splash Sort vs Stack Sort

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Stack Sort at none against Splash Sort's 2. Stack Sort also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Splash Sort's advantage is ratings volume (3K vs 5). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Splash Sort sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Stack Sort asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Splash Sort against 4.8 for Stack Sort. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Splash Sort has 3K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Splash Sort ships an update monthly, Stack Sort fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
