# ZipcodeBox vs ColorWave

The clearest difference is rating: ZipcodeBox at 5.0 against ColorWave's 4.6. ZipcodeBox also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 88%). ColorWave's advantage is ratings volume (22 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ZipcodeBox sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and ColorWave sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ZipcodeBox holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ColorWave has 22 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of ZipcodeBox's written reviews are positive against 88% of ColorWave's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
