# ScentMax vs LAYORA

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.

LAYORA holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ScentMax has 306 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

ScentMax ships an update every 3 weeks, LAYORA every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
