Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: MemoKey at every 4 days against Rkive's every 3 weeks. MemoKey also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.2). Rkive's advantage is ratings volume (8 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MemoKey sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Rkive sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for MemoKey against 5.0 for Rkive. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rkive has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
MemoKey ships an update every 4 days, Rkive every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
