Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Maze Participate at 2.8 against Userbrain Recorder's 1.3. Maze Participate also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (15 vs 3). Userbrain Recorder's advantage is review sentiment (21% vs 0%) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Maze Participate holds the better App Store score, 2.8 against 1.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Maze Participate has 15 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of Userbrain Recorder's written reviews are positive against 0% of Maze Participate's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Userbrain Recorder ships an update every 3 weeks, Maze Participate weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
