# FAC Maxima vs AudioScope

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FAC Maxima at none against AudioScope's 4. FAC Maxima also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.7) and ratings volume (67 vs 9). AudioScope's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 84%) and price ($7.99 vs $9.99). On update cadence, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

FAC Maxima costs $9.99 and AudioScope $7.99 up front. AudioScope sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. FAC Maxima asks for nothing beyond the download.

FAC Maxima holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FAC Maxima has 67 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of FAC Maxima's written reviews are positive against 100% of AudioScope's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

FAC Maxima ships an update every 2 months, AudioScope every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
