Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Total Biochem at 5.0 against AminoCraft's 3.0. Total Biochem also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 7 months). AminoCraft's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (10 vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
