# Hex Color Picker vs ColorsScan

The clearest difference is rating: ColorsScan at 5.0 against Hex Color Picker's 3.8. Hex Color Picker's advantage is ratings volume (44 vs 1) and update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hex Color Picker sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and ColorsScan sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ColorsScan holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hex Color Picker has 44 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Hex Color Picker ships an update every 10 days, ColorsScan monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
