# Molecule Lab vs 3DMolecule

The clearest difference is rating: 3DMolecule at 5.0 against Molecule Lab's 4.0. Molecule Lab's advantage is ratings volume (18 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.2 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

3DMolecule holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Molecule Lab has 18 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
