Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Resistor at none against Electronic Component Codes's shown. Resistor also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Electronic Component Codes's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 9 months) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
