Splash Loop's advantage is ratings volume (158 vs 5). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Splash Loop sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Word Pop Sort sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Word Pop Sort holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Splash Loop has 158 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Splash Loop ships an update fortnightly, Word Pop Sort every 6 days. Both last shipped on November 13, 2026.
