# Text Me vs MeMi Message

The clearest difference is rating: Text Me at 4.7 against MeMi Message's 2.5. Text Me also leads on ratings volume (674K vs 485) and chart position (#10 vs unranked). MeMi Message's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Text Me sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and MeMi Message sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Text Me holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Text Me has 674K ratings behind it against 485, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 28% of Text Me's written reviews are positive against 21% of MeMi Message's.

Text Me ships an update fortnightly, MeMi Message every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
