Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Close at 74% against Mauritshuis's 17%. Close also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (35 vs 1). Mauritshuis's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Mauritshuis holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Close has 35 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Close's written reviews are positive against 17% of Mauritshuis's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Close ships an update every 4 days, Mauritshuis every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
