Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Maxsold holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 87 and 334 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Hobbiesville's written reviews are positive against 44% of Maxsold's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Hobbiesville ships an update every 2 weeks, Maxsold weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
