Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: xOne AR at none against 3D Model Viewer's 5. xOne AR also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). 3D Model Viewer's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17). On price there is nothing between them.
