Verdict
MaxStats and Elevate both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Elevate's written reviews are positive against 52% of MaxStats's. Elevate also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). MaxStats's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Elevate sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per month. MaxStats asks for nothing beyond the download.
MaxStats holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MaxStats has 953 ratings behind it against 119, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of MaxStats's written reviews are positive against 100% of Elevate's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MaxStats ships an update every 3 months, Elevate monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
