Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Microgram at 4.7 against Vitamin's 4.1. Microgram also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 91). Vitamin's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Vitamin sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Microgram sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
