Both devices deliver resonance-based frequency therapy through a PEMF magnetic field, but they serve very different situations. This is a straightforward comparison to help you choose the one that fits how you want to work with frequency wellness.
iCare is the practitioner-led path — Max builds your protocols. Infopathy is the self-guided path — you build your own from a 4,000+ IC library, with Max’s program packages available when you want them.
People come to this page because they have already read through the individual device pages and want a clean side-by-side view before making a decision. Both iCare and Infopathy use a PEMF magnetic field to deliver resonance-based frequencies — including the same FSM frequency pairs — but they differ in how protocols are programmed, how the device is used day-to-day, how much field intensity it delivers, and the shape of your relationship with a practitioner. Max is involved in both pathways; what changes is how central that involvement is to the experience.
The comparison below is not a ranking. Neither device is better than the other. They are built for different situations, and many people end up using both. What follows is a practical guide to help you decide which one fits where you are right now.
Side-by-side comparison
| iCare | Infopathy | |
|---|---|---|
| Access | Available only through Max’s practitioner pathway · requires consultation | Available direct to consumer · no practitioner required |
| Delivery method | PEMF only · dual copper coil felt pad · designed for overnight passive use | Three modes — PEMF, water imprinting, and audible · choose by preference |
| Programming | Access to foundational programs and bundles · Max programs custom protocols remotely via the app · tailored to your situation | Self-directed · 4,000+ ICs in subscription library · build your own protocols · also access to Max’s program bundles and custom packages |
| Field intensity | 15 µT · optimized for extended overnight exposure | Glowing IC Pad at 500 µT · stronger field for focused sessions |
| Day and night use | Runs both during the day and overnight · overnight passive use is one of its biggest advantages · phone on airplane mode · pad under the sheet | Can be used overnight but primarily designed for focused sessions during the day |
| Practitioner involvement | Max monitors and updates your protocols · ongoing practitioner relationship | Primarily self-directed · Max also creates program packages and custom Infoceuticals on request |
| Price | Device pricing shared upon consultation · iCare Protocols app subscription is $15/month | Three device options: Glowing IC Pad, Circuit IC Pad, and IC Hummer · see infopathy.com for current hardware pricing · IC library subscriptions at $9.99/month or $19.98/month depending on tier |
| FSM frequency compatibility | Delivers FSM frequency pairs · same protocol logic as clinical FSM | Delivers FSM frequency pairs · same protocol logic as clinical FSM |
| Ideal candidate | Someone working with Max clinically who wants overnight home support between sessions | Someone who wants a hybrid approach — self-guided exploration with the option of Max’s support through program packages and custom Infoceuticals |
Who should choose which
You want a practitioner-guided path
You are already working with Max or are ready to start a clinical relationship, and you want overnight home support with protocols programmed specifically for your situation. iCare is the right fit when you value having someone monitor your progress and update your protocols over time. The low-intensity 15 µT field is built for the long, passive overnight exposure that makes this approach work.
You want a hybrid self-guided path
You prefer to learn as you go, browse a large library, and build your own protocols based on what you are curious about — while still having the option to bring Max in for program packages or custom Infoceuticals when you want practitioner input. Infopathy is the right fit when you want flexibility: three delivery modes, 4,000+ ICs, and the freedom to use it independently or in combination with clinical support.
Yes — and many people do. Infopathy handles self-guided daily support across a wide range of topics, with the option of Max’s program packages layered in. iCare handles practitioner-guided protocols tuned to specific clinical goals, with overnight passive use as one of its biggest advantages. The two approaches complement each other rather than compete.
