Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Morphite at every 5 days against Galaxy Genome's every 5 weeks. Morphite also leads on chart position (#186 vs unranked) and ratings volume (948 vs 114). Galaxy Genome's advantage is price ($3.99 vs $7.99). On rating, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Morphite holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Morphite has 948 ratings behind it against 114, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Morphite's written reviews are positive against 75% of Galaxy Genome's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Morphite ships an update every 5 days, Galaxy Genome every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
