# Math Solitaire vs Category Sort

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Math Solitaire at none against Category Sort's 11. Category Sort's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (12K vs 571). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Category Sort sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Math Solitaire asks for nothing beyond the download.

Category Sort holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Category Sort has 12K ratings behind it against 571, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 30% and 31% positive.

Math Solitaire ships an update every 8 days, Category Sort every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 18, 2026.
