# CharaMemo vs Stash

The clearest difference is rating: Stash at 5.0 against CharaMemo's 4.7. CharaMemo's advantage is review sentiment (95% vs 79%) and ratings volume (11 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CharaMemo sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Stash sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Stash holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CharaMemo has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 95% of CharaMemo's written reviews are positive against 79% of Stash's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

CharaMemo ships an update every 8 days, Stash every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
