Verdict

The call

Make24 and Colony Jam both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 89% of Make24's written reviews are positive against 22% of Colony Jam's. Make24 also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly). Colony Jam's advantage is ratings volume (228 vs 20) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
