Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Color Match at none against Tomato Evolution's 11. Color Match also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Tomato Evolution's advantage is review sentiment (91% vs 64%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Color Match holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Color Match has 372 ratings behind it against 48, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Color Match's written reviews are positive against 91% of Tomato Evolution's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Color Match ships an update every 5 days, Tomato Evolution monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
