Both 毎{まい}回{かい} and 毎{まい}度{ど} share the meaning of "every time" or "every occurrence."
I know 毎回 can be used to mean "every turn", and that 毎度 can be used to mean "frequently" too.
Does that mean 毎回 is more often related to attempting things several times, whereas 毎度 is more closely linked to just things that happen often?
As this thesaurus entry says, 'each time'-ness is felt less with 毎度. As such it is close to 'always' and more often used in fixed phrases.
In all of the above, 毎回 is less idiomatic (for the last one, 毎回毎回 can be used).
