Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Archiproducts at 3.6 against Bonhams's 3.1. Archiproducts also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 19%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.1). Bonhams's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (149 vs 5). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS

Archiproducts holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bonhams has 149 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 19% of Bonhams's written reviews are positive against 50% of Archiproducts's.
Bonhams ships an update monthly, Archiproducts every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
