# Authenticity vs Maxims

The clearest difference is monetization model: Maxims at free with in-app purchases against Authenticity's subscription. Maxims also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 9 days). Authenticity's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (8 vs 1). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Authenticity sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month and Maxims sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Authenticity against 5.0 for Maxims. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Authenticity has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Authenticity ships an update every 9 days, Maxims every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
