Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cfridge at none against MaxiAP's 13. Cfridge also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). MaxiAP's advantage is ratings volume (167 vs 9) and rating (2.2 vs 2.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
