# Hanoi Tower vs ColorSweeper

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ColorSweeper at 77% against Hanoi Tower's 25%. ColorSweeper also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (458 vs 41). Hanoi Tower's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hanoi Tower sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and ColorSweeper sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hanoi Tower holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ColorSweeper has 458 ratings behind it against 41, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Hanoi Tower's written reviews are positive against 77% of ColorSweeper's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Hanoi Tower ships an update every 7 months, ColorSweeper fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 20, 2026.
