# Colorscapes® vs Hello Kitty

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Colorscapes® at 183K against Hello Kitty's 1.3K. Colorscapes® also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (12.5 vs 15.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Colorscapes® sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and Hello Kitty sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Colorscapes® against 4.7 for Hello Kitty. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Colorscapes® has 183K ratings behind it against 1.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 81% of Colorscapes®'s written reviews are positive against 76% of Hello Kitty's.
