Color Tap vs Colorfy

Color Tap is a free color-by-numbers app that gives children a way to explore pixel art. Its library contains hundreds of pictures, with the press page counting more than 800 templates. The makers say they curated and licensed the artwork from pixel artists around the world. Pictures are bundled with the app and remain available offline after installation. In the painting area, touch controls where coloring happens, while the artwork's zoom level affects how much is filled at a time. The makers describe the experience as intended for children, including children with autism spectrum disorder, and cite playful visuals, animation, and sound design. Separate soundtrack versions are provided for headphone and non-headphone listening. The app is free to download, with all content included; the makers say it has no ads, in-app purchases, or subscriptions. They also say the iOS app neither tracks users nor collects data in the app. Color Tap is listed for iOS and macOS, though its download page points to the Apple App Store. The App Store names Great Scott AB as developer.

Colorfy is a digital coloring and art game for Android and iOS. Its designs include mandalas, florals, animals, patterns, cats, gardens, and famous paintings; the iOS listing describes more than 1,000 pictures. Users choose a palette, tap to color, and can select brush types for effects. They can also photograph paper drawings to color in the app or create original mandalas with a few swipes. An augmented reality gallery can show drawings in a real-world setting as if displayed on a wall. Users can view and share artwork with people around the world or share their own drawings on social networks. The iOS listing says Colorfy works offline. It is free to download, with ads and in-app purchases. Listed in-app purchase prices are 7.99 USD for Colorfy Subscription, 9.99 USD for Colorfy Plus, and 19.99 USD for Colorfy Plus Subscription; Apple does not specify billing periods for these purchases. The subscription description says new images become available for download each week, and subscriptions renew unless turned off at least 24 hours before the current period ends.
