Verdict

Morse Elmer costs $0.99 and Morse eMail $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Morse eMail holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Morse Elmer has 192 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Morse Elmer's written reviews are positive against 50% of Morse eMail's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Morse Elmer ships an update every 2 months, Morse eMail every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
