Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: StyleRow at none against Architectural Digest's 10. StyleRow also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). Architectural Digest's advantage is ratings volume (432 vs 1) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 14 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
