Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: LiveMemo at 100% against Alt's 57%. LiveMemo also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Alt's advantage is ratings volume (50 vs 2) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LiveMemo sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Alt sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
LiveMemo holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Alt has 50 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of LiveMemo's written reviews are positive against 57% of Alt's.
LiveMemo ships an update every 4 days, Alt every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
