ackground and Objectives: This research was conducted with the aim of investigating and comparing three chemistry virtual laboratory software, including Crocodile Chemistry 605, IrYdium Chemistry Lab, and ChemLab Eval v3.0. Methods: The present applied article is a descriptive–analytical study with a qualitative approach. The evaluation criteria included the variety and number of experiments, graphical quality, simulation accuracy, ease of use, educational features, and available tools. Findings: The findings indicated that Crocodile Chemistry 605 software has a significant superiority over other software in terms of experiment diversity, usable tools, graphic quality, and the possibility of designing new experiments and offers an easier user experience. ChemLab Eval v3.0 software, focusing on specialized experiments and more detailed explanations, is suitable for advanced and university education, but has limitations in the number of experiments and graphics. IrYdium Chemistry Lab software performed weaker in this comparison and has more limitations in terms of facilities and simulation accuracy. In the field of key experiments such as titration and redox reactions, Crocodile and ChemLab software presented acceptable and clear results, but only Crocodile was able to execute the experiment of the effect of temperature on solubility with appropriate accuracy and graphics. Conclusion: Finally, Crocodile Chemistry 605 software was selected as the superior software. The results of this research can provide a useful guide for teachers, students, and researchers in selecting appropriate simulation software for chemistry education and learning.
