# CRUSH the Memory vs AI Recorder

The clearest difference is review sentiment: CRUSH the Memory at 73% against AI Recorder's 0%. CRUSH the Memory also leads on device support (4 vs 2). AI Recorder's advantage is rating (4.7 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 AI Recorder sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

AI Recorder holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 15 and 34 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of CRUSH the Memory's written reviews are positive against 0% of AI Recorder's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on June 5, 2026 and September 11, 2026 respectively.
