# Memory! vs Memo Match

The clearest difference is rating: Memo Match at 4.6 against Memory!'s 4.3. Memory!'s advantage is ratings volume (2.9K vs 742) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Memory! sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Memo Match sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Memo Match holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2.9K and 742 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Memory!'s written reviews are positive against 76% of Memo Match's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 4 months. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
