Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
ACV MAX holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ACV MAX has 2.1K ratings behind it against 59, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Impel Capture's written reviews are positive against 11% of ACV MAX's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Impel Capture ships an update every 3 weeks, ACV MAX monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
