# Morse vs Gondol

The clearest difference is price: Gondol at Free against Morse's $0.99. Gondol also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Morse's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 1). On device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Gondol is free to download; Morse costs $0.99 up front. Morse sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Gondol asks for nothing beyond the download.

Gondol holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Morse has 1.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of Morse's written reviews are positive against 67% of Gondol's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Morse ships an update every 5 weeks, Gondol every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
