Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Phone Drive at 4.7 against MobileMemory's 4.2. Phone Drive also leads on review sentiment (73% vs 52%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). MobileMemory's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
