# Quick Draw vs Color Study

The clearest difference is price: Color Study at Free against Quick Draw's $0.99. Color Study also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 3 months). Quick Draw's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and chart position (#24 vs #143). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Color Study is free to download; Quick Draw costs $0.99 up front. Color Study sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Quick Draw asks for nothing beyond the download.

Color Study holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Color Study has 556 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 71% of Quick Draw's written reviews are positive against 87% of Color Study's.

Quick Draw ships an update every 3 months, Color Study every 11 days. Both last shipped on November 5, 2026.
