Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: unmemory at 4.7 against Mutropolis mobile's 4.5. unmemory also leads on ratings volume (148 vs 15).

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
unmemory costs $6.99 and Mutropolis mobile $3.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
unmemory holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: unmemory has 148 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of unmemory's written reviews are positive against 75% of Mutropolis mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
