# Alias vs Memesick

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Alias at 1.8K against Memesick's 10. Memesick's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Alias sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Memesick sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Alias against 5.0 for Memesick. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Alias has 1.8K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 94% and 94% positive.

Alias ships an update every 2 months, Memesick fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
