Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: MaxStats at 888 against MaxPreps Advantage's 8. MaxStats also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). MaxPreps Advantage's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (67% vs 52%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
MaxStats holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MaxStats has 888 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of MaxStats's written reviews are positive against 67% of MaxPreps Advantage'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, MaxPreps Advantage every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 11, 2026 respectively.
