Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: The Elements Flashcards at 93% against Periodic Table PRO's 50%. The Elements Flashcards also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 8).

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. Periodic Table PRO sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. The Elements Flashcards asks for nothing beyond the download.
Periodic Table PRO holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Periodic Table PRO has 86 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of The Elements Flashcards's written reviews are positive against 50% of Periodic Table PRO's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
The Elements Flashcards ships an update every 10 months, Periodic Table PRO every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
