What Maxxing actually is
Maxxing (developer Glow Up LLC, App Store listing "Maxxing: LooksMaxxing Glow Up") scores an uploaded selfie for an "Attractiveness Score," billed as showing "how others perceive you & what's stopping you from reaching your full potential." It then sells a "Custom Glow-Up Routine" with personalized jawline, skin, hair, and style advice, plus skincare and grooming product suggestions.
Its App Store listing shows a 4.5-star rating from roughly 2,600 ratings, and includes an age-perception read alongside the routine.
What Maxxing costs
The App Store listing shows weekly plans from $3.99-$14.99, annual plans from $39.99-$49.99, a $29.99 lifetime tier, and separate add-on features priced $4.99-$9.99 on top of whichever plan you pick.
Mogalytics has exactly one price everywhere: a $12 one-time unlock, no subscription tier, no lifetime upsell, and no add-on packs.
What its own App Store reviews say about billing
Several reviews on Maxxing's own App Store listing describe being charged through a linked website, then hitting additional unexpected charges when tapping other in-app offers with no warning first. Others report that features promised on the website weren't present after downloading the app, requiring a further separate payment, and describe difficulty locating and canceling saved payment methods.
One reviewer reported a paid face report stuck "processing" for days, zero responses to multiple support emails, and a demand for either the report or a refund after an email had already claimed the issue was resolved.
Mogalytics never uploads a photo, video frame, or landmark, has no linked-website checkout step, and the $12 unlock includes the complete instrument with nothing gated behind a further in-app purchase.
The "same score fantasy" critique
An independent roundup covering the looksmaxxing app category summarizes Maxxing's approach as "routine framing, same score fantasy": it rates the app's real-improvement value low, arguing that wrapping a repeat-scoring loop in glow-up coaching still treats refreshing a number as meaningful progress. The same roundup lists Maxxing's score consistency as unproven and its objectivity claims as implied rather than stated outright.
Mogalytics sells no coaching routine and makes no claim that a higher reading equals a "glow up." Its six geometry measurements are documented on the practice guide and labeled camera-sensitive estimates for testing your own setup — never a promise that any purchase, routine, or rescan changes the underlying number.
Where Mogalytics actually differs
- No photo, video frame, or landmark is ever uploaded — the whole reading runs in your browser.
- One flat $12, one time. No weekly plan, no lifetime upsell, no linked-website checkout, no add-on packs.
- No glow-up coaching subscription and no claim about how others perceive you.
- A 30-frame trimmed-mean window built to reduce single-scan noise, not a single-selfie snapshot.
What it doesn't do: replace a live duel, diagnose anything, or guarantee a specific score. It's a private setup-testing instrument, not a glow-up coaching subscription. See the practice guide for what it actually measures.
