# Pangram vs MeMaze

The clearest difference is review sentiment: MeMaze at 100% against Pangram's 62%. MeMaze also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Pangram's advantage is ratings volume (4.4K vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pangram sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 2 months and MeMaze sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MeMaze holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pangram has 4.4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 62% of Pangram's written reviews are positive against 100% of MeMaze's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 13, 2026 respectively.
