Verdict
The clearest difference is price: TdSE at Free against K3s Micro Manual's $3.99. TdSE also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.1). K3s Micro Manual's advantage is update cadence (every 10 months vs every 24 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
