# CMY vs Collide

The clearest difference is update cadence: CMY at every 2 months against Collide's every 15 months. CMY also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Collide's advantage is ratings volume (151 vs 2). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CMY sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Collide sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CMY holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Collide has 151 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

CMY ships an update every 2 months, Collide every 15 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
