# MAX3 vs Bladder Journal

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MAX3 at none against Bladder Journal's 5. MAX3 also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 18.0). Bladder Journal's advantage is ratings volume (15 vs 3) and device support. On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bladder Journal sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. MAX3 asks for nothing beyond the download.
