# Active Recall vs GroupKeeper

The clearest difference is rating: GroupKeeper at 5.0 against Active Recall's 4.7. GroupKeeper also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 days). Active Recall's advantage is ratings volume (19 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Active Recall sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and GroupKeeper sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

GroupKeeper holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Active Recall has 19 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

Active Recall ships an update every 10 days, GroupKeeper every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
