Verdict
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.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Monte Puzzles sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Animal Memory Match sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
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.
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.
