Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: MaintainX at weekly against Service Physics's every 4 months. MaintainX also leads on ratings volume (5.8K vs 13). Service Physics's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
