NMR Solvent Peaks vs Lab Laps
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
NMR Solvent Peaks
This utility helps organic chemists quickly identify potential impurities by searching a database of NMR data. Users can input solvent, peak multiplicity, and location to find candidate impurities. It supports both proton and carbon data searches.
- Search for impurities by mode, solvent, multiplicity, and ppm
- View alphabetical list of all impurities
- Adjust user interface handedness
- Select color themes
- Supports proton and carbon NMR data

NMR Solvent Peaks is a conveniently-searchable version of the ungainly table of NMR data most organic chemists keep a copy of nearby. Instead of searching through the table for a peak near your unidentified peak, just enter your solvent and the peak's multiplicity and location and you'll have a short list of candidate impurities. NMR Solvent Peaks has support for searching both proton and carbon data, and references the widely-distributed 2010 Organometallics paper by Gregory Fulmer and coworkers and the 2016 OPRD paper by Gregory Whiteker and coworkers. Feature Highlights: - search for impurities based upon mode (proton/carbon), deuterated solvent, multiplicity, and ppm - select "show all" for ppm to see an alphabetical list of all impurities in the app's database - pick a color theme and adjust the user interface handedness

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NMR Solvent Peaks at none against Lab Laps's 2. NMR Solvent Peaks also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and device support (4 vs 2). Lab Laps's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (132 vs 11). On price, review sentiment, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lab Laps sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. NMR Solvent Peaks asks for nothing beyond the download.
NMR Solvent Peaks holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lab Laps has 132 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of NMR Solvent Peaks's written reviews are positive against 94% of Lab Laps's.
NMR Solvent Peaks ships an update every 3 months, Lab Laps every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
