Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Mic Live at none against Virtual Mic's shown. Mic Live also leads on ratings volume (117 vs 22). Virtual Mic's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
