Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Earth and Science at every 15 months against Microscope's every 58 months. Earth and Science also leads on chart position (#175 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.0). Microscope's advantage is price ($3.99 vs $4.99). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
