Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ColorSwitch! at none against Color Memo's 1. ColorSwitch! also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 43 months) and ratings volume (4K vs 24). Color Memo's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 74%). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Color Memo sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. ColorSwitch! asks for nothing beyond the download.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for Color Memo against 4.5 for ColorSwitch!. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ColorSwitch! has 4K ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of Color Memo's written reviews are positive against 74% of ColorSwitch!'s.
Color Memo ships an update every 43 months, ColorSwitch! every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
