# Color Switch vs Helix Jump

Color Switch and Helix Jump both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 75% of Color Switch's written reviews are positive against 41% of Helix Jump's. Helix Jump's advantage is ratings volume (1.5M vs 55K) and chart position (#32 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Color Switch sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days and Helix Jump sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Color Switch against 4.6 for Helix Jump. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Helix Jump has 1.5M ratings behind it against 55K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 75% of Color Switch's written reviews are positive against 41% of Helix Jump's.

Color Switch ships an update every 2 weeks, Helix Jump weekly. Both last shipped on November 10, 2026.
