# CRUSH the Memory vs Note Recall

The clearest difference is rating: Note Recall at 5.0 against CRUSH the Memory's 4.1. Note Recall also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). CRUSH the Memory's advantage is ratings volume (15 vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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 Note Recall sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Note Recall holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CRUSH the Memory has 15 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

CRUSH the Memory ships an update fortnightly, Note Recall every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
