Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ESAKids at 5.0 against ColourCode's 4.3. ColourCode's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and update cadence (every 5 months vs every 56 months). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
ESAKids holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of ColourCode's written reviews are positive against 67% of ESAKids's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ColourCode ships an update every 5 months, ESAKids every 56 months. The most recent releases landed on August 27, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
