# MAX vs CamX

The clearest difference is review sentiment: CamX at 68% against MAX's 25%. CamX also leads on rating (4.4 vs 2.9) and ratings volume (276 vs 8). MAX's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CamX sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per year. MAX asks for nothing beyond the download.

CamX holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CamX has 276 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 25% of MAX's written reviews are positive against 68% of CamX's.

MAX ships an update every 2 months, CamX every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 22, 2026.
