# Line Arcade vs Color Dots!

Line Arcade and Color Dots! both sit at 4.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 80% of Line Arcade's written reviews are positive against 22% of Color Dots!'s. Line Arcade also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 12). Color Dots!'s advantage is ratings volume (3K vs 21) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Color Dots! sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Line Arcade asks for nothing beyond the download.

Color Dots! holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Color Dots! has 3K ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Line Arcade's written reviews are positive against 22% of Color Dots!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Line Arcade ships an update every 2 months, Color Dots! every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
