Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Emb3D 3D Model Viewer at 4.4 against exocad webview's 3.8. Emb3D 3D Model Viewer also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (241 vs 16). exocad webview's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Emb3D 3D Model Viewer holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Emb3D 3D Model Viewer has 241 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of Emb3D 3D Model Viewer's written reviews are positive against 70% of exocad webview's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Emb3D 3D Model Viewer ships an update every 2 months, exocad webview every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 13, 2026 respectively.
