Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BreadHound at none against MicroBakery's 1. BreadHound also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.6). MicroBakery's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 days). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
