Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Concentration at none against Memory Jewels™ Brain Workout's shown. Concentration also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Memory Jewels™ Brain Workout's advantage is ratings volume (5.6K vs 11) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Memory Jewels™ Brain Workout holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Memory Jewels™ Brain Workout has 5.6K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of Memory Jewels™ Brain Workout's written reviews are positive against 100% of Concentration's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Memory Jewels™ Brain Workout ships an update monthly, Concentration every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
