Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Visual Recall Challenge at Free against Alchemy Help's $0.99. Visual Recall Challenge also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 40%) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months). Alchemy Help's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On rating, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Alchemy Help holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Visual Recall Challenge has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Alchemy Help's written reviews are positive against 67% of Visual Recall Challenge's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Alchemy Help ships an update every 7 months, Visual Recall Challenge every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
