Verdict
The clearest difference is price: SynthStack at Free against Maze's $1.99. SynthStack also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly) and device support (3 vs 1). Maze's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On rating and review sentiment there is nothing between them.
