# Pinterest vs Color Portfolio

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Color Portfolio at none against Pinterest's 12. Color Portfolio also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.5.2 vs 16.0). Pinterest's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (5.8M vs 12K). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pinterest sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Color Portfolio asks for nothing beyond the download.

Pinterest holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pinterest has 5.8M ratings behind it against 12K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 35% of Pinterest's written reviews are positive against 24% of Color Portfolio's.

Pinterest ships an update weekly, Color Portfolio every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
