Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Remember Basic at Free against Remember's $0.99. Remember Basic also leads on rating (4.4 vs 4.2). Remember's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 50%) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 days). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Remember Basic is free to download; Remember costs $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Remember Basic holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Remember has 56 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Remember's written reviews are positive against 50% of Remember Basic's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Remember ships an update every 4 days, Remember Basic every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and August 24, 2026 respectively.
