Stoichiometry vs Atomic Spectra
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Stoichiometry
This tool helps balance chemical reactions and calculate molar masses, moles, and actual masses of reactants and products. It supports various formula formats and can identify limiting reagents. Data can be sent to another app for gas phase calculations.
- Balance chemical reactions
- Calculate molar masses
- Determine moles and actual masses
- Identify limiting reagents
- Supports various formula formats
- Integrates with Gas Phase Stoichiometry app

Stoichiometry is an ultimate tool for balancing chemical reactions, finding molar masses, moles and actual masses of reactants and products based on their chemical formulas, stoichiometric coefficients and any quantitative data provided, that available on Apple Store for iOS and Mac . It is enough to provide initial or final (after reaction accomplishment) mass or moles of one of the reaction component, to calculate all required and obtained masses and moles of all components. If data is available for several components, then limiting reagent will be found based on reaction stoichiometry. Molecular formula format: charge or unpaired electrons (in free radicals), if exist, must be provided as well, separated by coma: Na,+ ; R,: ; SO4,2- . Application supports state indexes: (g), (s), (l), (aq) – all are lowercase only, placed at the end of compound formula. App can send the data to Gas Phase Stoichiometry app to further calculate pressures and volumes of gaseous compounds. Either moles or masses can be filled in, but if by mistake both are provided and they don’t match, then the moles value will have a preference. Component will be taken into consideration once the stoichiometric coefficient is provided for it. For balancing redox reactions please refer to Electrochemistry application.

Atomic Spectra
This reference app provides detailed information on strong line atomic emission spectra within the visible range. Users can search for elements by name, symbol, or atomic number and inspect individual spectra lines. It offers interactive features to visualize and navigate spectral data.
- Visible range spectra (380-740nm)
- Search by element name, symbol, or atomic number
- Sort by name, symbol, or spectra line count
- Inspect individual spectra lines
- Interactive spectrum visualization

Reference app for Strong Line Atomic Emission Spectra in the visible range of 380-740nm. Can search by element name, symbol, or atomic number. Sort by name, symbol, or count of spectra lines. Drill down to an element and inspect the individual spectra lines. Tap on the line to show it in the spectrum; tap on the spectrum to scroll to that line.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Atomic Spectra at 100% against Stoichiometry's 50%. Atomic Spectra also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and price ($1.99 vs $2.99). Stoichiometry's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 19 months) and iOS requirement (17.1 vs 26.0). On ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
