Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RSS Mobile at none against MaxFeeder's 1. RSS Mobile also leads on ratings volume (58 vs 1). MaxFeeder's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 3 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

MaxFeeder holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RSS Mobile has 58 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
