Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Meme Maker at 4.6 against Meme Generator's 3.0. Meme Maker also leads on ratings volume (11K vs 6). Meme Generator's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 14 months) and review sentiment (60% vs 50%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Meme Maker sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Meme Generator sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Meme Maker holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Meme Maker has 11K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Meme Maker's written reviews are positive against 60% of Meme Generator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Meme Maker ships an update every 14 months, Meme Generator every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 13, 2026 respectively.
