The clearest difference is rating: MemoKids at 4.9 against Pou's 4.4. MemoKids also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 8) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). Pou's advantage is ratings volume (3.9K vs 7) and chart position (#3 vs #129). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Pou costs $1.99 and MemoKids $1.99 up front. Pou sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. MemoKids asks for nothing beyond the download.

MemoKids holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pou has 3.9K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two.
