# Plain Flashcards vs Memorize Flash Card Maker

The clearest difference is rating: Plain Flashcards at 4.4 against Memorize Flash Card Maker's 3.7. Plain Flashcards also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (281 vs 3). Memorize Flash Card Maker's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 73%) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Plain Flashcards sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Memorize Flash Card Maker sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Plain Flashcards holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Plain Flashcards has 281 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Plain Flashcards's written reviews are positive against 100% of Memorize Flash Card Maker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Plain Flashcards ships an update weekly, Memorize Flash Card Maker fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
