# CREATIFY vs Colorscapes®

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Colorscapes® at 183K against CREATIFY's 593. Colorscapes® also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (12.5 vs 14.0). CREATIFY's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CREATIFY sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Colorscapes® sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Colorscapes® holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Colorscapes® has 183K ratings behind it against 593, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of CREATIFY's written reviews are positive against 81% of Colorscapes®'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

CREATIFY ships an update every 3 weeks, Colorscapes® every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
