Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Resistor Color Codes at none against Resistor Tools's 1. Resistor Color Codes also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 75%). Resistor Tools's advantage is ratings volume (10 vs 2). On price, rating, ads 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. Resistor Tools sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Resistor Color Codes asks for nothing beyond the download.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Resistor Tools against 5.0 for Resistor Color Codes. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Resistor Tools has 10 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 75% of Resistor Tools's written reviews are positive against 100% of Resistor Color Codes's.
