# Color Switch vs Crazy Gears Box

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Color Switch at 55K against Crazy Gears Box's 82. Color Switch also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). Crazy Gears Box's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Color Switch sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days and Crazy Gears Box sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Color Switch holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Color Switch has 55K ratings behind it against 82, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Color Switch's written reviews are positive against 78% of Crazy Gears Box's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Color Switch ships an update every 2 weeks, Crazy Gears Box every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
