Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Memory at Free against ExplorOz Traveller's $39.99. Memory also leads on rating (4.9 vs 3.5) and in-app purchases (none vs 8). ExplorOz Traveller's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On ratings volume, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
