Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ColorSwitch! at none against 1010's 1. ColorSwitch! also leads on ratings volume (4K vs 46) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months). 1010's advantage is review sentiment (85% vs 73%). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
