# Peak vs Memory Match

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Memory Match at none against Peak's 10. Memory Match also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (82% vs 63%). Peak's advantage is ratings volume (146K vs 6K). On price, rating, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Peak sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Memory Match asks for nothing beyond the download.

Memory Match holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Peak has 146K ratings behind it against 6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 63% of Peak's written reviews are positive against 82% of Memory Match's.

Peak ships an update fortnightly, Memory Match every 11 days. Both last shipped on October 21, 2026.
