# Nebulous.io vs Recall

The clearest difference is ads: Recall at none against Nebulous.io's shown. Recall also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.1) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). Nebulous.io's advantage is ratings volume (2.6K vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Nebulous.io sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and Recall sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Recall holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nebulous.io has 2.6K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Nebulous.io ships an update every 2 weeks, Recall every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
