Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: iBrace Custom Orthotics at none against 3D's 3. iBrace Custom Orthotics also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.2). 3D's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 9 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
