# Sorted vs DropNotify

The clearest difference is review sentiment: DropNotify at 73% against Sorted's 20%. DropNotify also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.6). Sorted's advantage is ratings volume (734 vs 20). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sorted sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and DropNotify sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

DropNotify holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sorted has 734 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 20% of Sorted's written reviews are positive against 73% of DropNotify's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
