# Tile Nest vs Duck Sort

The clearest difference is rating: Duck Sort at 5.0 against Tile Nest's 3.0. Duck Sort also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (105 vs 1). Tile Nest's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tile Nest sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Duck Sort sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Duck Sort holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Duck Sort has 105 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Tile Nest ships an update weekly, Duck Sort every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
