Why look for a Colorify alternative

First sweep of Colorify, by Turkey's YOYA Mobile. Turns a user photo into AI line art in a Simple, Detailed or Pixel Art style, and generates colour-by-number pages from that same photo. Launched 29 July 2025, so it's been alive for just over a year, with updates every few weeks and the latest one three days before this sweep. Third-party reviews from a teacher and a grandparent confirm real use in class and with grandkids. The entry price is $9.99 a week, confirmed literally by two independent agents against the App Store listing, with a $39.99 annual plan and a $49.99 Pro+ tier. The in-app purchase list repeats the $9.99 figure across different items, and there are complaints about renewals that catch users by surprise and daily usage caps despite paying.

What its own users repeat in the August 17, 2026 sweep:

  • The in-app purchase list repeats the $9.99 figure across several different items (weekly, unlock, credit pack), confirmed literally by two independent agents (strong theme)
  • Documented complaints about unexpected renewals and daily "fair usage" caps despite having an active subscription (strong theme)
  • The 4.6 average across 8,600 ratings sits alongside a much lower 2.3 out of 5 score across written reviews on an independent aggregator (present theme)

Best alternatives to Colorify

What the internet says about each alternative

Colorpop 3.9/5 · From $5

The listing keeps moving almost every week: iOS shipped version 2.64.05 six days before this sweep with a new themed pack, thirteen Odyssey-style templates, and Apple still holds 4.8 across 742K ratings. The in-app purchase list confirms the real price runs from $3.99 a week on limited-time offers up to $69.99 for the top pass, a range that neither the official site nor the $5 reference price capture. Watching an ad to unlock a colour remains the complaint that repeats most.

Where it wins: The sheet is generated and coloured inside the same app, with brushes, textures and effects, which is what makes it playable for a child Where it slips: You have to watch an ad video before drawings, colour packs and tools become available, and ads pop up while colouring

Splat 3.4/5 · Free trial · from $4.99

First sweep of Splat. The Lone Palm Labs app has been alive for close to a year (launched 27 October 2025) and keeps shipping regular updates, the latest one on 10 August 2026 adding a default printer setting, exactly the "get a page ready to print" function this segment's question asks for. It generates clean line art from a photo or pulls from its own library of 300-plus themed pages. The free trial is a single page, not a permanent free tier, and from there on you pay either by subscription or by standalone page bundle. Its Android rating, on a small sample, sits well below its iOS score.

Where it wins: Own library of 300-plus ready-made educational pages (animals, space, cars, robots), useful for the classroom without needing any photo Where it slips: The free trial is a single page confirmed by two independent press pieces, not a permanent free tier: from the second page onward you pay
