Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: AIChE at 100% against Chemical Engineering Formulate's 0%. AIChE also leads on price (Free vs $4.99) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). Chemical Engineering Formulate's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
