# Living Colors vs Particle Simulation

The clearest difference is price: Particle Simulation at Free against Living Colors's $2.99. Particle Simulation also leads on rating (4.5 vs 2.5) and ratings volume (46 vs 4). Living Colors's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and review sentiment (50% vs 25%). On update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Particle Simulation is free to download; Living Colors costs $2.99 up front. Particle Simulation sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Living Colors asks for nothing beyond the download.

Particle Simulation holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Particle Simulation has 46 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Living Colors's written reviews are positive against 25% of Particle Simulation's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Living Colors ships an update every 8 months, Particle Simulation every 7 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
