# Crystal Caverns! vs Color Dots!

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Crystal Caverns! at 86% against Color Dots!'s 22%. Crystal Caverns! also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 12) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). Color Dots!'s advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 36 months) and ratings volume (3K vs 33). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Color Dots! sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Crystal Caverns! asks for nothing beyond the download.

Color Dots! holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Color Dots! has 3K ratings behind it against 33, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Crystal Caverns!'s written reviews are positive against 22% of Color Dots!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Crystal Caverns! ships an update every 36 months, Color Dots! every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on September 23, 2026.
