Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Bot3D Editor at Free against Putty 3D's $4.99. Bot3D Editor also leads on review sentiment (73% vs 51%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Putty 3D's advantage is rating (4.1 vs 3.8). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Putty 3D holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bot3D Editor has 3.3K ratings behind it against 593, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Putty 3D's written reviews are positive against 73% of Bot3D Editor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Putty 3D ships an update every 3 months, Bot3D Editor every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
