# Five Differences Max Challenge vs Find The Differences

The clearest difference is rating: Find The Differences at 4.7 against Five Differences Max Challenge's 4.2. Find The Differences also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 18 months) and ratings volume (2K vs 14). Five Differences Max Challenge's advantage is review sentiment (76% vs 43%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Five Differences Max Challenge sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Find The Differences sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Find The Differences holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Find The Differences has 2K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Five Differences Max Challenge's written reviews are positive against 43% of Find The Differences's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Five Differences Max Challenge ships an update every 18 months, Find The Differences every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on October 1, 2026.
