# Captain Memo vs Memory

The clearest difference is rating: Captain Memo at 4.5 against Memory's 1.0. Captain Memo also leads on ratings volume (107 vs 1) and review sentiment (78% vs 67%). Memory's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Captain Memo sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Memory sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Captain Memo holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Captain Memo has 107 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 78% of Captain Memo's written reviews are positive against 67% of Memory's.

Captain Memo ships an update every 6 months, Memory every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
