Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Max Player at 40% against Hi's 0%. Max Player also leads on ratings volume (17 vs 4). Hi's advantage is rating (3.8 vs 3.2) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Max Player sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Hi asks for nothing beyond the download.
Hi holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 17 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Hi's written reviews are positive against 40% of Max Player's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
