MoleculeGo is a location based app that gamifies the process of learning about molecular biology. In this game, the player collects amino acids, ATP, and DNA sequences, the molecular building blocks used to synthesize proteins. By capturing DNA sequences, the player discovers genes that encode for proteins. These genes provide the user with the necessary "recipe" to synthesize proteins in their own lab, using amino acids and ATP. These proteins can then be combined to construct even larger protein complexes. As the player progresses in the game, new molecules become available and information will become available about each molecule's basic function and how its structure is associated with its molecular role. Players can visit hotspots (schools, parks, hospitals, universities, etc.) to accelerate the discovery of new molecules. While molecules are discovered, players can learn how they are involved in disease, biomedical applications, research, and their function in the cell.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MoleculeGo at 4.5 against 3D Molecule Viewer's 3.0. MoleculeGo also leads on ratings volume (24 vs 2). 3D Molecule Viewer's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 14 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
MoleculeGo holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MoleculeGo has 24 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
3D Molecule Viewer ships an update every 9 days, MoleculeGo every 14 months. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
