# Google Chrome vs Color Widgets

The clearest difference is update cadence: Google Chrome at weekly against Color Widgets's monthly. Google Chrome also leads on chart position (#2 vs #98) and ratings volume (3.9M vs 524K). Color Widgets's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Google Chrome sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Color Widgets sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Google Chrome against 4.6 for Color Widgets. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google Chrome has 3.9M ratings behind it against 524K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 61% of Google Chrome's written reviews are positive against 64% of Color Widgets's.

Google Chrome ships an update weekly, Color Widgets monthly. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
