# Block Stack vs Gift Sort

The clearest difference is rating: Gift Sort at 5.0 against Block Stack's 2.0. Gift Sort also leads on ratings volume (24 vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Block Stack sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Gift Sort sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Gift Sort holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gift Sort has 24 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Block Stack ships an update weekly, Gift Sort every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
