# Recall vs Olive

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Olive at 100% against Recall's 55%. Olive also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Recall's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (135 vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Olive sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Recall asks for nothing beyond the download.

Olive holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Recall has 135 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 55% of Recall's written reviews are positive against 100% of Olive's.

Recall ships an update every 3 weeks, Olive fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
