Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Science Tools at Free against Sci's $3.99. Science Tools also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months). Sci's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (3 vs 1). On rating, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
