# Memory! vs Memories

The clearest difference is rating: Memories at 4.8 against Memory!'s 4.3. Memories also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months). Memory!'s advantage is ratings volume (2.8K vs 11). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

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

Memories holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Memory! has 2.8K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of Memory!'s written reviews are positive against 100% of Memories's.

Memory! ships an update every 4 months, Memories weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
