MyGels helps you annotate, analyse, quantify, and organise gels or blots commonly used in molecular biology or biochemistry, such as agarose gels, SDS-PAGE, western blots, etc. Simply snap a picture of your gel, crop to the desired region and MyGels will automatically recognise lanes and bands. You can calibrate the gel to determine molecular weights, quantify bands, and export beautifully annotated gels, plots of your bands of interest, and of course all the raw data for analysis in third-party software. MyGels makes it easy to organise and keep track of your gels, makes analysis a breeze, and puts your experimental results at your fingertips.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MyGels at none against Case Files's 6. MyGels also leads on update cadence (every 10 months vs every 21 months). Case Files's advantage is iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
