# IQ2 vs Memory Training

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: IQ2 at none against Memory Training's 10. IQ2 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (4.6K vs 22). Memory Training's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 87%). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Memory Training sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. IQ2 asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for IQ2 against 4.8 for Memory Training. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IQ2 has 4.6K ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 87% of IQ2's written reviews are positive against 100% of Memory Training's.
