Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: UofG Molecular Methods at none against Organic Reactions's 2. UofG Molecular Methods also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 68%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Organic Reactions's advantage is ratings volume (170 vs 1) and update cadence (every 10 months vs every 42 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
