# ARLOOPA vs Live Coloring

The clearest difference is rating: ARLOOPA at 4.7 against Live Coloring's 3.3. ARLOOPA also leads on ratings volume (1.4K vs 15) and review sentiment (64% vs 52%). Live Coloring's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ARLOOPA sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Live Coloring sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ARLOOPA holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ARLOOPA has 1.4K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 64% of ARLOOPA's written reviews are positive against 52% of Live Coloring's.

ARLOOPA ships an update fortnightly, Live Coloring monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
