Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ColourChord at 67% against Hex Color Picker's 20%. Hex Color Picker's advantage is rating (3.8 vs 1.0) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ColourChord sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Hex Color Picker sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Hex Color Picker holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hex Color Picker has 44 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of ColourChord's written reviews are positive against 20% of Hex Color Picker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ColourChord ships an update every 2 months, Hex Color Picker every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
