# CogniFit vs Memo

The clearest difference is rating: Memo at 5.0 against CogniFit's 4.5. Memo also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 71%) and update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). CogniFit's advantage is ratings volume (1.7K vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CogniFit sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Memo sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Memo holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CogniFit has 1.7K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 71% of CogniFit's written reviews are positive against 100% of Memo's.

CogniFit ships an update weekly, Memo every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
