    because chemdraw is intended for drawing chemical structures, while chemik isn't

    ChemDraw is specifically intended for drawing chemical structures to include in documents, presentations and beyond. Chemik is specifically not intended for that and therefore can't be a replacement. (Also, the Chemik website has an explainer Youtube video which is blocked in Denmark on copyright grounds - very useful!)

    • This alternative is disputed. Chemik is a legitimate ChemDraw alternative, but it might have issues that some users think are important.
