# Memory! vs Spot 5 Differences

The clearest difference is rating: Spot 5 Differences at 4.7 against Memory!'s 4.3. Spot 5 Differences also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (52K vs 2.8K). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Memory! sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Spot 5 Differences sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Spot 5 Differences holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spot 5 Differences has 52K ratings behind it against 2.8K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Memory!'s written reviews are positive against 77% of Spot 5 Differences's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Memory! ships an update every 4 months, Spot 5 Differences every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
