Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Relay Voice at free against MemoMind's freemium. Relay Voice also leads on ratings volume (18 vs 1) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Relay Voice sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and MemoMind sells 1 in-app purchase, 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 Relay Voice against 5.0 for MemoMind. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Relay Voice has 18 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Relay Voice ships an update every 5 days, MemoMind every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
