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