# MEME Maker` vs Meme Soundboard Sound Effect

The clearest difference is review sentiment: MEME Maker` at 56% against Meme Soundboard Sound Effect's 0%. MEME Maker` also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (5.7K vs 138). Meme Soundboard Sound Effect's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.2). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model 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 Soundboard Sound Effect sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Meme Soundboard Sound Effect holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MEME Maker` has 5.7K ratings behind it against 138, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of MEME Maker`'s written reviews are positive against 0% of Meme Soundboard Sound Effect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
