Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: MakerFlo at none against Altenew's shown. MakerFlo also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (100% vs 78%). Altenew's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
