Both are free to download. Craft sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Notico Max sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Notico Max holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Craft has 6.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
