Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Crane Rescue 3D at 4.4 against Half Balance's 2.6. Crane Rescue 3D also leads on ratings volume (12K vs 32).

Both are free to download. Crane Rescue 3D sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Half Balance asks for nothing beyond the download.
Crane Rescue 3D holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Crane Rescue 3D has 12K ratings behind it against 32, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Half Balance's written reviews are positive against 6% of Crane Rescue 3D'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 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
