# Max vs WithU

The clearest difference is ads: WithU at none against Max's shown. WithU also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Max's advantage is ratings volume (9.5K vs 4). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

WithU holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Max has 9.5K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Max ships an update every 6 days, WithU every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and June 8, 2026 respectively.
