Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Doodle Matching at none against Memory's shown. Doodle Matching also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Memory's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (10K vs 2). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
