Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bacteria 3D at none against Microbiology's 6. Bacteria 3D also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks) and ratings volume (70 vs 9). Microbiology's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
