Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Collectors Gazette at Free against Make Dice's $2.99. Collectors Gazette also leads on rating (3.5 vs 3.3). Make Dice's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 20 months). On ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
