Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: 30 Second Life at Free against ColorTap!'s $0.99. 30 Second Life also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (128 vs 2). ColorTap!'s advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 61%) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

30 Second Life holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 30 Second Life has 128 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of ColorTap!'s written reviews are positive against 61% of 30 Second Life's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ColorTap! ships an update every 2 months, 30 Second Life every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
