# Memory! vs Memory

The clearest difference is rating: Memory! at 4.3 against Memory's 1.0. Memory! also leads on ratings volume (2.8K vs 1) and review sentiment (80% vs 67%). Memory's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
