Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Colors Unlocked at none against Chatometer's 1. Colors Unlocked also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Chatometer's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 15 months) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
