Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Safire Smart at 5.0 against MaxPlayer's 3.4. Safire Smart also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 15.1). MaxPlayer's advantage is ratings volume (20 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
