Patina Project's advantage is ratings volume (157 vs 4) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.5). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Patina Project sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and MemoriMe sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
