# Screen Memo vs Sans

The clearest difference is rating: Screen Memo at 5.0 against Sans's 3.3. Screen Memo also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 12 months). Sans's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (50% vs 33%). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Screen Memo sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Sans asks for nothing beyond the download.

Screen Memo holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Screen Memo's written reviews are positive against 50% of Sans's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Screen Memo ships an update fortnightly, Sans every 12 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
