Verdict

The call

ColourCode and Color Dots! both sit at 4.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of ColourCode's written reviews are positive against 22% of Color Dots!'s. ColourCode also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). Color Dots!'s advantage is ratings volume (3K vs 4) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Color Dots! holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Color Dots! has 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 22% of Color Dots!'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, Color Dots! every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
