# Screen Recorder vs Screen Memo

The clearest difference is rating: Screen Memo at 5.0 against Screen Recorder's 4.3. Screen Recorder's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (11K vs 4). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Screen Recorder sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days 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 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Screen Recorder has 11K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 33% and 33% positive.

Screen Recorder ships an update monthly, Screen Memo every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
