ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Codepoint holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Codepoint has 42 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Color Wheel + Osmosi AI's written reviews are positive against 67% of Codepoint's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Color Wheel + Osmosi AI ships an update every 2 weeks, Codepoint every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
