Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: LiveTask at 5.0 against MaxiAP's 2.2. LiveTask also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 13) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 weeks). MaxiAP's advantage is ratings volume (167 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
