Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AWTRIX 3 at none against Colors's 1. AWTRIX 3 also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 19 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.0). Colors's advantage is price ($0.99 vs $3.99). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
