Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Memex at 5.0 against AspenUC's 4.5. Memex also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). AspenUC's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium) and ratings volume (10 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
