Colour the "globe" and respect one basic rule: neighbouring areas should have different colours. There are 100 globes and you can puzzle with each globe in 6 different ways: CLASSIC: Just keep the colours apart. SHARP: Like CLASSIC but you need to sharpen your brain TOGETHER: My name is App. Let's colour together TACTICS; A bit tricky, but you'll figure it out GREEN: The colour green is gone. Now what? RELAX: Just push 4 times, and let me do most of the work No ads, no in-app-purchases, just an honest original puzzle game. Good luck and enjoy.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 4 COLOURS at none against Gear combination's 1. 4 COLOURS also leads on ads (none vs shown). Gear combination's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
