Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: 3DMark at 53% against ARMOURY CRATE's 15%. ARMOURY CRATE's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (780 vs 73). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
ARMOURY CRATE holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ARMOURY CRATE has 780 ratings behind it against 73, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 15% of ARMOURY CRATE's written reviews are positive against 53% of 3DMark's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
