Mirage applications are intended to be used in science classroom (senior high school). To use this application you need to download and print the marker set: http://mirage.ticedu.fr/?p=2324 How to use the app : Card 1 :Find out what this molecule is and write one sentence about the molecule's geometry ? Card 2 to 6 : Try to explain the following molecule's geometry. (hint : use Lewis, electrons pairs, lone pairs...) Card 7 to 11 : answers for cards 2 to 6, showing molecule's geometry, electrons pair and lone pairs. Card 12 : final answer for cards 1, molecule showing molecule's geometry, electrons pair and lone pairs. Once downloaded this one does not require an Internet connection.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mirage at none against Molecular Models's 1. Mirage also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.6). Molecular Models's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 92%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
