Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MicVision at none against WetLab Pro's 3. MicVision also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). WetLab Pro's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 17 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
