Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: AR at Free against Physical Science's $15.99. AR also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 months). Physical Science's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
