Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Kidzbook at Free against Colors!'s $4.99. Kidzbook also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.1) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 5 weeks). Colors!'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ratings volume (26 vs 3). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
