Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: VR Creator at 4.0 against 3D's 3.1. VR Creator also leads on review sentiment (47% vs 33%) and ratings volume (52 vs 13). 3D's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
