# AngelNav vs Memory

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Memory at none against AngelNav's 23. Memory also leads on ratings volume (10 vs 2). AngelNav's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AngelNav sells 23 in-app purchases, starting at $24.99 per year. Memory asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for AngelNav against 4.9 for Memory. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Memory has 10 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 75% of AngelNav's written reviews are positive against 81% of Memory's.

AngelNav ships an update every 5 weeks, Memory every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 14, 2026.
