The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Animal Memory Match at 69% against Monte Puzzles's 21%. Animal Memory Match also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 months). Monte Puzzles's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 3.5) and ratings volume (15 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Monte Puzzles holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Monte Puzzles has 15 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of Monte Puzzles's written reviews are positive against 69% of Animal Memory Match's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Monte Puzzles ships an update every 4 months, Animal Memory Match every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
