# ColorSweeper vs Zen Grid

The clearest difference is rating: Zen Grid at 5.0 against ColorSweeper's 4.3. Zen Grid also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). ColorSweeper's advantage is ratings volume (469 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ColorSweeper sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Zen Grid sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Zen Grid holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ColorSweeper has 469 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

ColorSweeper ships an update fortnightly, Zen Grid every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
