# Drop Flip vs Colorscope

The clearest difference is update cadence: Drop Flip at every 2 weeks against Colorscope's every 17 months. Drop Flip also leads on ratings volume (9.9K vs 732) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). Colorscope's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
