# iColorama S vs Superimpose X

The clearest difference is price: iColorama S at Free against Superimpose X's $4.99. Superimpose X's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (3K vs 178). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

iColorama S is free to download; Superimpose X costs $4.99 up front. iColorama S sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Superimpose X sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Superimpose X holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Superimpose X has 3K ratings behind it against 178, 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 86% of Superimpose X's.
