# Architecture vs Visited

The clearest difference is rating: Visited at 4.6 against Architecture's 2.6. Visited also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 187 months) and ratings volume (14K vs 997). Architecture's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Architecture sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Visited sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Visited holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Visited has 14K ratings behind it against 997, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of Architecture's written reviews are positive against 33% of Visited's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Architecture ships an update every 187 months, Visited monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
