Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
ColorStream+ holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 1.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ColorStream+ has 2K ratings behind it against 172, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of ChromaComfort™'s written reviews are positive against 5% of ColorStream+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ChromaComfort™ ships an update every 3 months, ColorStream+ every 5 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
