# DoMemo vs Gika

The clearest difference is rating: DoMemo at 4.5 against Gika's 3.5. DoMemo also leads on ratings volume (10 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.4). Gika's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DoMemo sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Gika sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

DoMemo holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DoMemo has 10 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

DoMemo ships an update every 3 weeks, Gika every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
