Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ColourCode at none against Blocks's 6. ColourCode also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 87%). Blocks's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (4.3K vs 4). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Blocks sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. ColourCode asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Blocks holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Blocks has 4.3K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of ColourCode's written reviews are positive against 87% of Blocks's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ColourCode ships an update every 5 months, Blocks every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
