# Memory Vault Plus vs Bee

Memory Vault Plus and Bee both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Memory Vault Plus's written reviews are positive against 61% of Bee's. Memory Vault Plus also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2). Bee's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (3K vs 8). On price, rating, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bee sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month. Memory Vault Plus asks for nothing beyond the download.

Bee holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bee has 3K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Memory Vault Plus's written reviews are positive against 61% of Bee's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Memory Vault Plus ships an update every 5 weeks, Bee every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
