Verdict

The call

Griddle and Sortlings both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Sortlings's written reviews are positive against 43% of Griddle's. Sortlings also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 days). Griddle's advantage is ratings volume (1.7K vs 1) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
