Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Goaltend at none against Microgram's 11. Goaltend also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). Microgram's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 3). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
