Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
MaxLED holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WhatTheFont has 591 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of WhatTheFont's written reviews are positive against 25% of MaxLED's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
WhatTheFont ships an update every 4 months, MaxLED every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
