Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Chemistry lab lite at 5.0 against goREACT's 2.2. goREACT's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 25 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Chemistry lab lite holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: goREACT has 99 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 18% of goREACT's written reviews are positive against 0% of Chemistry lab lite's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
goREACT ships an update every 4 months, Chemistry lab lite every 25 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
