Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Max at 4.8 against MedMemo's 3.6. Max also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (9.9K vs 16). MedMemo's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
