Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DevOps.com at none against Science Now's 3. DevOps.com also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Science Now's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (140 vs 20). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
