# Remember vs Lately

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Remember at 5 against Lately's 1. On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Remember sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Lately sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. 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 Remember against 5.0 for Lately. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Remember has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Remember ships an update every 10 days, Lately fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 14, 2026 and September 11, 2026 respectively.
