Verdict

The call

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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

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.
