# Memory! vs Memory Master

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Memory! at 80% against Memory Master's 0%. Memory! also leads on ratings volume (2.8K vs 20). Memory Master's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

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

Memory Master holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Memory! has 2.8K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Memory!'s written reviews are positive against 0% of Memory Master'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, Memory Master every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
