# Meme Color vs Message Games

The clearest difference is rating: Meme Color at 4.9 against Message Games's 4.4. Meme Color also leads on ratings volume (7.2K vs 11) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). Message Games's advantage is review sentiment (86% vs 50%) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Meme Color sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and Message Games sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Meme Color holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Meme Color has 7.2K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Meme Color's written reviews are positive against 86% of Message Games's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Meme Color ships an update every 3 weeks, Message Games every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
