# Hit the Dot vs Color Switch

The clearest difference is ads: Hit the Dot at none against Color Switch's shown. Hit the Dot also leads on review sentiment (85% vs 75%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Color Switch's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (55K vs 32). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hit the Dot sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Color Switch sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Color Switch holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Color Switch has 55K ratings behind it against 32, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Hit the Dot's written reviews are positive against 75% of Color Switch's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
