Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ColorSweeper at 77% against puzzling.com's 36%. ColorSweeper also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (428 vs 38). puzzling.com's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. puzzling.com sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and ColorSweeper sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

puzzling.com holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ColorSweeper has 428 ratings behind it against 38, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of puzzling.com's written reviews are positive against 77% of ColorSweeper's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

puzzling.com ships an update every 2 months, ColorSweeper every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on September 22, 2026.
