# Memory! vs Doodle Matching

The clearest difference is rating: Doodle Matching at 5.0 against Memory!'s 4.3. Doodle Matching also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Memory!'s advantage is ratings volume (2.8K vs 2) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 12 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

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

Doodle Matching holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Memory! has 2.8K ratings behind it against 2, 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 Doodle Matching's.

Memory! ships an update every 4 months, Doodle Matching every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and August 25, 2026 respectively.
