Verdict
The clearest difference is price: OCRForge at Free against Memos's $2.99. OCRForge also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months) and rating (4.9 vs 4.6). Memos's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ratings volume (434 vs 7). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
