Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Morpholio Board at fortnightly against Architectural Digest's every 4 months. Morpholio Board also leads on review sentiment (52% vs 29%) and ratings volume (3.8K vs 432). Architectural Digest's advantage is chart position (#159 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases 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
Both are free to download. Architectural Digest sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Morpholio Board sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Architectural Digest against 4.6 for Morpholio Board. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Morpholio Board has 3.8K ratings behind it against 432, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 29% of Architectural Digest's written reviews are positive against 52% of Morpholio Board's.
Architectural Digest ships an update every 4 months, Morpholio Board fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
