Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Memory Matches 2 at Free against Pairmoji's $2.99. Memory Matches 2 also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.7) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 23 months). Pairmoji's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). On iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Memory Matches 2 is free to download; Pairmoji costs $2.99 up front. Memory Matches 2 sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Pairmoji asks for nothing beyond the download.
Memory Matches 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Memory Matches 2 has 9.4K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Memory Matches 2's written reviews are positive against 100% of Pairmoji's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Memory Matches 2 ships an update every 6 weeks, Pairmoji every 23 months. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
