Saved palettes sync through iCloud on iOS. Your current unsaved draft stays on this device. Color readings are approximations and depend on your camera and lighting. Calibration can compensate for a color cast under the same light; it does not guarantee an exact paint or print match.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hex Color Picker at 3.8 against ColorPicker's 3.0. Hex Color Picker also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). ColorPicker's advantage is review sentiment (32% vs 20%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ColorPicker sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Hex Color Picker sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Hex Color Picker holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hex Color Picker has 44 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of ColorPicker's written reviews are positive against 20% of Hex Color Picker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ColorPicker ships an update every 2 months, Hex Color Picker every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
