# Memory Games vs Train your brain

Memory Games and Train your brain both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 93% of Memory Games's written reviews are positive against 50% of Train your brain's. Memory Games also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 months). Train your brain's advantage is ratings volume (5.5K vs 901) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Memory Games sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Train your brain 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 — 4.7 for Memory Games against 4.6 for Train your brain. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Train your brain has 5.5K ratings behind it against 901, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 93% of Memory Games's written reviews are positive against 50% of Train your brain's.

Memory Games ships an update every 9 days, Train your brain every 3 months. Both last shipped on September 23, 2026.
