Verdict
The clearest difference is price: ASME Materials and Electrodes at $3.99 against Welding Toolbox 2's $7.99. Welding Toolbox 2's advantage is update cadence (every 29 months vs every 74 months) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.5). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
