Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: LAYORA at freemium against ScentMax's subscription. LAYORA also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). ScentMax's advantage is ratings volume (306 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ScentMax sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and LAYORA sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
