# Sorted vs NuGrade

The clearest difference is review sentiment: NuGrade at 100% against Sorted's 20%. NuGrade also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.6). Sorted's advantage is ratings volume (684 vs 9). 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 NuGrade sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

NuGrade holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sorted has 684 ratings behind it against 9, 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 100% of NuGrade's.

Sorted ships an update every 9 days, NuGrade every 8 days. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
