# Tile Sort vs Ring Bus

Tile Sort and Ring Bus both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 71% of Tile Sort's written reviews are positive against 40% of Ring Bus's. Ring Bus's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and ratings volume (1.8K vs 64). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tile Sort sells 21 one-off in-app purchases and Ring Bus sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Tile Sort against 4.8 for Ring Bus. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ring Bus has 1.8K ratings behind it against 64, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 71% of Tile Sort's written reviews are positive against 40% of Ring Bus's.
