# Meme This! vs Meme Maker

The clearest difference is rating: Meme Maker at 4.6 against Meme This!'s 3.4. Meme Maker also leads on ratings volume (11K vs 5). Meme This!'s advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 14 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Meme This! sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Meme Maker sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Meme Maker holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Meme Maker has 11K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Meme This!'s written reviews are positive against 50% of Meme Maker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Meme This! ships an update every 2 months, Meme Maker every 14 months. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
