Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Photogrammetry at 100% against Astropad Studio Drawing Tablet's 46%. Photogrammetry also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). Astropad Studio Drawing Tablet's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13 vs 18.6). On price there is nothing between them.
