Verdict
The clearest difference is price: ISD Studio 3D at Free against iconTool's $0.99. ISD Studio 3D also leads on iOS requirement (12.2 vs 17.0). iconTool's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 2.5) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On review sentiment, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
