# Voxel Max vs 3D modeling

The clearest difference is price: 3D modeling at Free against Voxel Max's $9.99. 3D modeling also leads on ratings volume (15K vs 40) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Voxel Max's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On rating, ads, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.

3D modeling is free to download; Voxel Max costs $9.99 up front. 3D modeling sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Voxel Max asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Voxel Max against 4.6 for 3D modeling. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 3D modeling has 15K ratings behind it against 40, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 82% of Voxel Max's written reviews are positive against 68% of 3D modeling's.

Voxel Max ships an update fortnightly, 3D modeling every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
