You take on the role of a new employee in a pharmaceutical company researching the deadly outbreak caused by an unknown pathogen. Use your puzzle skills to master computational tools in a bioinformatics program called VIRIDAE (Viral Identification and Analysis Engine). Analyze the genome of the pathogen with your pipeline to determine its origin and identify the genetic variation that made it so deadly. Each tool you master will help you ‘filter’ genomic information to find answers in the data.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Formula MAX at 80% against Hudson's 0%. Formula MAX also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (52 vs 2). Hudson's advantage is price (Free vs $0.99) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 11 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
