# Memory! vs Match Pairs 3D

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Memory! at 80% against Match Pairs 3D's 53%. Memory! also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Match Pairs 3D's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Memory! sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Match Pairs 3D sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Match Pairs 3D holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Match Pairs 3D has 44K ratings behind it against 2.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Memory!'s written reviews are positive against 53% of Match Pairs 3D'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, Match Pairs 3D every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
