Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: OrgoQuest at none against ChemBioCalc's 4. OrgoQuest also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 4 days). ChemBioCalc's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
