# Colorix.com Pro vs Paint Tester

The clearest difference is ads: Colorix.com Pro at none against Paint Tester's shown. Colorix.com Pro also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). Paint Tester's advantage is review sentiment (77% vs 46%) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Colorix.com Pro sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Paint Tester sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Paint Tester holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Paint Tester has 1.3K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 46% of Colorix.com Pro's written reviews are positive against 77% of Paint Tester's.

Colorix.com Pro ships an update monthly, Paint Tester every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
