# Recall vs Recall

The clearest difference is rating: Recall at 4.2 against Recall's 2.7. Recall's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Recall sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Recall sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Recall holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 2.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Recall's written reviews are positive against 40% of Recall's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Recall ships an update every 3 months, Recall daily. Both last shipped on October 3, 2026.
