# Color vs ColBox

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ColBox at 100% against Color's 67%. ColBox also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 27 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Color's advantage is ratings volume (136 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Color sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and ColBox sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ColBox holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Color has 136 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of Color's written reviews are positive against 100% of ColBox's.

Color ships an update every 27 months, ColBox every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
