MAKS mobile takes control of the MAKS security system to a new level. Now, regardless of location, you can arm and disarm your home from your mobile phone, view live video from cameras, control home automation devices, and monitor the events using push-notifications and the history of events for a specified period of time. In one application you can manage several security systems (for example: an apartment and a country house). Each system has one or more groups (for example: a house, a garage, etc.) The application uses advanced data transmission and protection technologies, operates an autonomous security system or operates with a professional monitoring service.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Maks Mobile at 5.0 against Phoenix's 2.8. Phoenix's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Maks Mobile holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Phoenix's written reviews are positive against 21% of Maks Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Phoenix ships an update every 3 months, Maks Mobile every 2 months. Both last shipped on June 1, 2026.
