# HexMoji vs Category Sort

The clearest difference is chart position: Category Sort at #63 against HexMoji's unranked. Category Sort also leads on ratings volume (10K vs 1.4K) and review sentiment (32% vs 22%). HexMoji's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. HexMoji sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and Category Sort 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 — 4.8 for HexMoji against 4.7 for Category Sort. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Category Sort has 10K ratings behind it against 1.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 22% of HexMoji's written reviews are positive against 32% of Category Sort's.

HexMoji ships an update weekly, Category Sort fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
