# ColourCode vs Queens Master

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ColourCode at 100% against Queens Master's 36%. ColourCode also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). Queens Master's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Queens Master sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. ColourCode asks for nothing beyond the download.

Queens Master holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Queens Master has 14K 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 36% of Queens Master'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, Queens Master every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
