Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Fixum at 77% against Color Dots!'s 22%. Fixum also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (5.1.1 vs 13.0). Color Dots!'s advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (3K vs 36). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Fixum sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Color Dots! sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Color Dots! holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Color Dots! has 3K ratings behind it against 36, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Fixum's written reviews are positive against 22% of Color Dots!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Fixum ships an update every 3 weeks, Color Dots! every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
