Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Resistor Tools at 5.0 against Resistor's 4.0. Resistor Tools also leads on ratings volume (10 vs 1) and review sentiment (75% vs 67%). Resistor's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
