Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: JawiKey at 5.0 against Maxis's 3.2. JawiKey also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Maxis's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (88 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
