# Time Drop vs Memory Boost

The clearest difference is rating: Time Drop at 4.7 against Memory Boost's 4.0. Time Drop also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Time Drop sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Memory Boost sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Time Drop holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Time Drop has 25 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Time Drop ships an update every 2 weeks, Memory Boost every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
