Verdict

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Category Sort sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Catedrop sells 8 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 — 4.7 for Category Sort against 4.8 for Catedrop. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Category Sort has 10K ratings behind it against 1.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 32% of Category Sort's written reviews are positive against 25% of Catedrop's.
Category Sort ships an update fortnightly, Catedrop every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
