Verdict
Microgram and Kiwi both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 83% of Kiwi's written reviews are positive against 67% of Microgram's. Kiwi also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Microgram's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 76). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
