# iColorama S vs Visionist

The clearest difference is rating: Visionist at 4.8 against iColorama S's 4.1. Visionist also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 weeks) and ratings volume (1.6K vs 177). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iColorama S sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Visionist sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Visionist holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Visionist has 1.6K ratings behind it against 177, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 72% of iColorama S's written reviews are positive against 77% of Visionist's.

iColorama S ships an update every 4 weeks, Visionist every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
