Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: 3D Text at 4.8 against Drop Shadow Editor's 3.9. 3D Text also leads on ratings volume (5.2K vs 7) and device support. Drop Shadow Editor's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price there is nothing between them.
