The clearest difference is rating: ColorCeption at 5.0 against ColorSwitch!'s 4.5. ColorCeption also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 73%). ColorSwitch!'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 79 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
