Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MicroRecoveryPlus at none against THRST's 4. MicroRecoveryPlus also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). THRST's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 1) and update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
