# MEME Maker` vs Meme Sound Effect Soundboard

The clearest difference is ads: MEME Maker` at none against Meme Sound Effect Soundboard's shown. MEME Maker` also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 8 months) and review sentiment (56% vs 33%). Meme Sound Effect Soundboard's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MEME Maker` sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Meme Sound Effect Soundboard sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Meme Sound Effect Soundboard holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MEME Maker` has 5.7K ratings behind it against 324, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of MEME Maker`'s written reviews are positive against 33% of Meme Sound Effect Soundboard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
