According to the list at
https://www.wordfrequency.info/free.asp?s=y
in a corpus of 450 million words taken from American English,
"maybe" was the 384th most common word, and occurred 108,421 times;
"perhaps" was the 436th most common word and occurred 87,060 times.
I'd call that just about equal, which is what I guessed before looking it up.
