Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Memory at 10K against Memory Games's 901. On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Memory sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Memory Games sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Memory against 4.7 for Memory Games. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Memory has 10K ratings behind it against 901, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 89% of Memory's written reviews are positive against 93% of Memory Games's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Memory ships an update every 10 days, Memory Games every 9 days. Both last shipped on September 23, 2026.
