Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bootcamp.com at 86% against Visualizing Organic Chemistry's 0%. Bootcamp.com also leads on price (Free vs $7.99) and rating (4.9 vs 1.0). Visualizing Organic Chemistry's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
