Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Mempho Presents at 4.5 against Helping Friendly App's 3.9. Mempho Presents also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). Helping Friendly App's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (61 vs 8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Mempho Presents holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Helping Friendly App has 61 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Helping Friendly App's written reviews are positive against 50% of Mempho Presents's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Helping Friendly App ships an update every 3 weeks, Mempho Presents every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
