Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Torn Tools at none against Gear's 3. Torn Tools also leads on rating (4.2 vs 4.0) and review sentiment (67% vs 56%). Gear's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (251 vs 5). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
