# Open FM vs RMF MAXX

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Open FM at 1.3K against RMF MAXX's 4. Open FM also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 9 months). RMF MAXX's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and monetization model (ad-supported vs freemium). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

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

RMF MAXX holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8.
