Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MaxFlow HR at 5.0 against PalGate's 2.6. MaxFlow HR also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). PalGate's advantage is ratings volume (16 vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
