Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Record it! at 62% against Screen Memo's 33%. Record it! also leads on ratings volume (455K vs 4). Screen Memo's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Record it! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Screen Memo sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Screen Memo holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Record it! has 455K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Record it!'s written reviews are positive against 33% of Screen Memo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Record it! ships an update every 8 days, Screen Memo every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
