# Category Sort vs Solitaire

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Category Sort at 13K against Solitaire's 228. Category Sort also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and chart position (#122 vs unranked). 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 and Solitaire sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Category Sort holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Category Sort has 13K ratings behind it against 228, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of Category Sort's written reviews are positive against 36% of Solitaire's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Category Sort ships an update every 2 weeks, Solitaire every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
