Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Parallel at 4.9 against Maiden TCG's 4.3. Parallel also leads on review sentiment (95% vs 57%) and ratings volume (35 vs 3). Maiden TCG's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
