Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Gimme a Second at none against micro's shown. Gimme a Second also leads on chart position (#199 vs unranked) and device support (3 vs 1). micro's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 5 days). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
