Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: iCColors at 100% against August Home's 30%. iCColors also leads on ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#182 vs unranked). August Home's advantage is price (Free vs $0.99) and rating (4.8 vs 3.9). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

August Home is free to download; iCColors costs $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

August Home holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: August Home has 175K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of iCColors's written reviews are positive against 30% of August Home's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iCColors ships an update every 37 months, August Home fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
