Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: i at 2.1 against SwitchMemory's 1.0. i also leads on ratings volume (80 vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 5 months). SwitchMemory's advantage is review sentiment (31% vs 12%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 11.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
i holds the better App Store score, 2.1 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: i has 80 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of SwitchMemory's written reviews are positive against 12% of i's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SwitchMemory ships an update every 5 months, i every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
