Actually the differences between the 3 editions are very clear. As found on the
Overview page on their website:

There are 3 editions, SE, CE and CX where SE and CE are for iPad, and CX is for iPhone. While CX is functionally the same as CE, SE is the most powerful edition with additional PDF Viewer and built-in OPDS/HTML server, which is very unique among ebook readers.

FYI, I bought MapleRead SE, as I liked (and still like) their PDF viewer that let me change the background color, and its unique server, that let my iPad acts as an OPDS server for all my iOS and Android (yes, Android) devices.
Moreover there is a free "check it out" version. See their FAQ
Can I test drive MapleRead for free on my iPad too?
Last, but not least, this app is still under very active development. Look at their
What's New page. There are already 4 substantial releases since the beginning of 2017 so far. In fact, they've just released v1.6.6 earlier today.
