Verdict
The clearest difference is price: MX at Free against Signal Path's $8.99. MX also leads on ratings volume (30 vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.6). Signal Path's advantage is rating (3.0 vs 2.3) and device support (3 vs 1). On review sentiment, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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
MX is free to download; Signal Path costs $8.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Signal Path holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MX has 30 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 17% of Signal Path's written reviews are positive against 14% of MX's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
