Free Coloring App for Kids: What Is Free in Gullu and What Is Paid
Short answer: Gullu is free to download on iPhone, iPad and Mac, and the first page of every land is free with every tool and no ads. The other pages need Gullu Plus, which costs US$3.99 a month, US$24.99 a year or US$39.99 once. There is no free trial.
Gullu is free to start, not free all the way through. Here is the exact line between the two, so you know before you download.
Is Gullu really free?
Part of it is. On iPhone, iPad and Mac the download costs nothing, and the first page of every land is free. Those free pages come with every tool, and they have no ads. Gullu has more than 1,000 coloring pages in all, and the others are unlocked with Gullu Plus.

Is there a free trial?
No. Gullu has no free trial. The free pages stay free for as long as you keep the app, so there is no clock running while a child tries it.
Do the free pages have ads?
No, not on iPhone, iPad or Mac. The Apple version has no ads, no tracking, no analytics and no account, whether you pay or not. Its App Privacy label is Data Not Collected.
Is the Android version free?
It will be, in a different way. Gullu for Android is in closed testing and is not public yet. When it reaches Google Play it will be free with ads: all the coloring pages are free, the ads are child-directed and never personalized, and a one-time Remove ads purchase costs US$2.99. See the no-ads page for the full difference.
What else is free from Gullu?
Two things on this website need no app at all:
- Free printables. Each theme on the coloring pages section has a free page to print, and the holiday themes have free packs.
- Online coloring. Five pictures can be colored in the browser, with no sign-up.
