Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Color SlapPs at 4.0 against SpeakColors's 2.5. Color SlapPs also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.6). SpeakColors's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 43%) and update cadence (every 16 months vs every 32 months). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
