Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Micro.blog at 4.4 against Bloglovin's 3.0. Micro.blog also leads on ratings volume (56 vs 2). Bloglovin's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 88%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Micro.blog holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Micro.blog has 56 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Micro.blog's written reviews are positive against 100% of Bloglovin's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
