Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MemoryBrainTraining at 4.9 against Short Term Memory Test's 4.4. MemoryBrainTraining also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 months). Short Term Memory Test's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 7).

Both are free to download. Short Term Memory Test sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 per month. MemoryBrainTraining asks for nothing beyond the download.
MemoryBrainTraining holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Short Term Memory Test has 1.1K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Short Term Memory Test's written reviews are positive against 67% of MemoryBrainTraining's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Short Term Memory Test ships an update every 4 months, MemoryBrainTraining every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
