Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Monsters Lab at Free against MicroRacer's $0.99. Monsters Lab also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 21 months). MicroRacer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (88% vs 77%). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
