# 3D Modeling vs Goblin Node

The clearest difference is ratings volume: 3D Modeling at 5.7K against Goblin Node's 3. Goblin Node's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 3D Modeling sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Goblin Node sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Goblin Node holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 3D Modeling has 5.7K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

3D Modeling ships an update every 9 days, Goblin Node weekly. Both last shipped on November 13, 2026.
