# Card Sort vs Icon Sort

The clearest difference is rating: Icon Sort at 4.7 against Card Sort's 3.8. Icon Sort also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 4) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Card Sort sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Icon Sort sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Icon Sort holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Icon Sort has 1.3K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
