Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Caption Meme Generator Pro at none against Add Text's 7. Caption Meme Generator Pro also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). Add Text's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and update cadence (monthly vs every 32 months). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Add Text holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Add Text has 66K ratings behind it against 29, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Caption Meme Generator Pro's written reviews are positive against 68% of Add Text's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Caption Meme Generator Pro ships an update every 32 months, Add Text monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
