# Model Colors vs Resin Control

The clearest difference is price: Model Colors at Free against Resin Control's $2.99. Model Colors also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (447 vs 22). Resin Control's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and review sentiment (80% vs 61%). On update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Model Colors is free to download; Resin Control costs $2.99 up front. Model Colors sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Resin Control asks for nothing beyond the download.

Model Colors holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Model Colors has 447 ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Model Colors's written reviews are positive against 80% of Resin Control's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Model Colors ships an update monthly, Resin Control every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
