Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Microscopya at every 2 days against SuperStruct's every 3 weeks. Microscopya also leads on ratings volume (27 vs 1). SuperStruct's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
