Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Sandbox 3D at none against Sandbox Experimental's shown. Sandbox 3D also leads on ratings volume (852 vs 19). Sandbox Experimental's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.1) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sandbox 3D sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Sandbox Experimental sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Sandbox Experimental holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sandbox 3D has 852 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Sandbox 3D's written reviews are positive against 64% of Sandbox Experimental's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
