Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Meme Maker at freemium against Cut and Paste's subscription. Meme Maker also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 29%) and ratings volume (12K vs 2.3K). Cut and Paste's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 14 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cut and Paste sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Meme Maker sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for Cut and Paste against 4.5 for Meme Maker. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Meme Maker has 12K ratings behind it against 2.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 29% of Cut and Paste's written reviews are positive against 50% of Meme Maker's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Cut and Paste ships an update every 2 weeks, Meme Maker every 14 months. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
