PLO+ is a Pot-Limit Omaha preflop trainer for iPhone and iPad. Look up the GTO-optimal play for any 4-card starting hand in seconds, then drill it with interactive training and track your progress over time. Professionally solved PLO preflop strategies for cash games and tournaments, with exact EV and action frequencies for every position at the table. WHY PLO PREFLOP IS DIFFERENT PLO preflop strategy has almost nothing in common with Hold'em. Four cards means 270,725 possible starting hands instead of 169, and equities run much closer together — big pairs lose most of their preflop dominance, while suitedness, connectedness, and card pairing drive hand strength. Ranges are wider, position matters more, and Hold'em intuition actively misleads. PLO+ gives you the solved answer for every hand instead of guesswork.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MAX VALUE at 5.0 against PLO+'s 4.7. MAX VALUE also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). PLO+'s advantage is ratings volume (43 vs 7). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. PLO+ sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and MAX VALUE sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
MAX VALUE holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PLO+ has 43 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
PLO+ ships an update every 8 days, MAX VALUE every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
