# Color Genie vs Explore Kid

The clearest difference is price: Explore Kid at Free against Color Genie's $0.99. Explore Kid also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3). Color Genie's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 50%) and ratings volume (41 vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Explore Kid is free to download; Color Genie costs $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Explore Kid holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Color Genie has 41 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Color Genie's written reviews are positive against 50% of Explore Kid's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Color Genie ships an update every 10 days, Explore Kid every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
