# myColorado® vs Stinker Stores

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Stinker Stores at 79% against myColorado®'s 41%. Stinker Stores also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). myColorado®'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (160K vs 72). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

myColorado® holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: myColorado® has 160K ratings behind it against 72, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of myColorado®'s written reviews are positive against 79% of Stinker Stores's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

myColorado® ships an update fortnightly, Stinker Stores every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
