# CRUSH the Memory vs XNote AI

The clearest difference is review sentiment: CRUSH the Memory at 73% against XNote AI's 50%. CRUSH the Memory also leads on device support (4 vs 2). XNote AI's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 4.1). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CRUSH the Memory sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and XNote AI sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

XNote AI holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 15 and 26 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of CRUSH the Memory's written reviews are positive against 50% of XNote AI's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

CRUSH the Memory ships an update fortnightly, XNote AI monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
