Key differences explained
Camera roll only vs. any app
Pool reads screenshots from your iPhone camera roll and organizes them. That is its capture model. If you tap Share on an Instagram post, a TikTok reel, or a link in WhatsApp, Pool cannot receive it. Sorti uses the standard iOS and Android share sheet, so anything you can Share from any app becomes a save. Screenshots, links, PDFs, photos, all captured in the same flow.
Auto pools vs. real categories and sub-categories
Pool creates “pools” automatically based on your saved content. It is smart and low-effort, but you do not control the hierarchy. Sorti gives you structured categories out of the box (Recipes, Shopping, Travel, Fashion, Restaurants, and more), with sub-categories inside each so you can nest Shoes under Shopping, or Italy under Travel. You can also rename, merge, and reorganize to fit how you actually think.
Platform: iPhone only vs. iPhone + Android
Pool is iOS-only at launch. Sorti works on both iPhone and Android today, and a web version is on the way. Your organized library syncs across all of your devices, so a save from your phone is available from your other devices too.
Rediscovery vs. action
Pool helps you rediscover what you saved. Sorti goes one step further: it turns saves into action. Save a product, Sorti tracks the price and pings you on a drop. Save a recipe, Sorti extracts ingredients and steps. Save a restaurant, Sorti keeps the map and hours ready. Save a piece from Zara in a size, Sorti watches the restock. The goal is not just to remember what you saved, it is to actually use it.
Personal vs. shareable
Pool is a personal-use app. Sorti supports shared folders with viewer and editor roles, so you can plan a vacation, build a wishlist, or curate a recipe collection with friends, family, or a partner. Everything stays synced in real time.
