# Talking Ginger vs COLOR

The clearest difference is ads: COLOR at none against Talking Ginger's shown. COLOR also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). Talking Ginger's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 96 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Talking Ginger sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and COLOR sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Talking Ginger ships an update every 2 months, COLOR every 96 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
