Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Color Gallery at monthly against Polyforge's every 26 months. Color Gallery also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.7). Polyforge's advantage is ratings volume (930 vs 265) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Color Gallery holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 930 and 265 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 94% of Polyforge's written reviews are positive against 91% of Color Gallery's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Polyforge ships an update every 26 months, Color Gallery monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
