Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
NumberBox holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NumberBox has 547 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of MaxBms's written reviews are positive against 61% of NumberBox's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MaxBms ships an update every 8 months, NumberBox every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
