# Circuit Colors vs Conduit Bending

The clearest difference is price: Conduit Bending at Free against Circuit Colors's $1.99. Conduit Bending also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.7) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 9 months). Circuit Colors's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and review sentiment (58% vs 33%). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Conduit Bending is free to download; Circuit Colors costs $1.99 up front. Conduit Bending sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Circuit Colors asks for nothing beyond the download.

Conduit Bending holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Conduit Bending has 669 ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Circuit Colors's written reviews are positive against 33% of Conduit Bending's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Circuit Colors ships an update every 9 months, Conduit Bending every 10 days. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
