# Ember vs Recall

The clearest difference is monetization model: Ember at freemium against Recall's subscription. Recall's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ember sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Recall sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 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 Ember against 5.0 for Recall. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 4 respectively. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

Ember ships an update monthly, Recall every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
