Color Covers is a revolutionary music player. It is not for everyone tho. If you just want to discover new music, it is definitely not a fit for you. With this application, you can relive your music library, scan your albums and their songs directly. If you find a collection which brings back good memories, then you can immediately start playback and get a deep dive in that. The app tries to complete your music library with metadata. This means if you did not add an artwork, but the artist and album is correct, it will most probably find and download the missing cover. If you have any question about the application, please feel free to send a mail to info@metapps.eu

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: vinylcloud at none against Color Covers's 3. Color Covers's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 12 months) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
