Update(2023/04/06): Memes number updated from 14726->20089. MemeSearch: Your Searchable Meme Library, Completely Free! Highlights: - It contains many of the trendiest memes. - You can search by text or by describing the content of the meme. - Completely free, no ads, no in-app purchases, no subscriptions. 1. Why was this made? I saw a lot of interesting memes in the Reddit /r/memes community, but it was hard to save and find them in albums. Making memes searchable seemed like a better idea. 2. Free app? Yees! Because it's fun. Everything runs on your phone, so it doesn't incur server costs. The app should remain functional until Apple goes bankrupt. If you find it awesome, telling me or posting it on social media would make my day. 3. Where does the images from? I use the Reddit API to get images from communities like /r/memes and /r/dankmemes. 4. Will memes data update frequently? Due to server and Reddit API limitations, memes will NOT be updated daily. I will try to update the data at least once a year. Preview page created with https://screenshots.pro/.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MemeSearch at 5.0 against Special Dates's 4.0. MemeSearch also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). Special Dates's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
