Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MicDrop Workout Tools at none against Barbell Plate Calculator's 1. MicDrop Workout Tools also leads on ads (none vs shown). Barbell Plate Calculator's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 3 months) and device support (3 vs 1). On price there is nothing between them.
