# puzzling.com vs ColorSweeper

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ColorSweeper at 77% against puzzling.com's 36%. ColorSweeper also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (444 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.

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.

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 444 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.

puzzling.com ships an update every 2 months, ColorSweeper fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
