# Toon Sort vs Category Stack

The clearest difference is update cadence: Toon Sort at every 2 weeks against Category Stack's every 3 months. Toon Sort also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Category Stack's advantage is ratings volume (15 vs 3). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Toon Sort against 4.9 for Category Stack. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Category Stack has 15 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Toon Sort ships an update every 2 weeks, Category Stack every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
