Verdict
The clearest difference is price: MicLabs at Free against Stash's $5.99. MicLabs also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Stash's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 3). On update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
