Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Fling! Lite at 72% against Play Colors's 16%. Fling! Lite also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). Play Colors's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.8) and ratings volume (8K vs 516). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Fling! Lite sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Play Colors sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Play Colors holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Play Colors has 8K ratings behind it against 516, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Fling! Lite's written reviews are positive against 16% of Play Colors's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Fling! Lite ships an update every 5 weeks, Play Colors every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
