# Cut the Rope vs COLOR!

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: COLOR! at none against Cut the Rope's 10. COLOR! also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months). Cut the Rope's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 58%) and ratings volume (835 vs 176). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cut the Rope sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. COLOR! asks for nothing beyond the download.

COLOR! holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 835 and 176 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Cut the Rope's written reviews are positive against 58% of COLOR!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Cut the Rope ships an update every 4 months, COLOR! weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
