# Max vs rep.

The clearest difference is update cadence: Max at every 3 days against rep.'s every 2 weeks. rep.'s advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). On price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Max sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and rep. sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. 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 Max against 5.0 for rep.. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5 and 4 respectively. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

Max ships an update every 3 days, rep. every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
