Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Rodin at none against 3D modeling's 6. Rodin also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (12.2 vs 15.0). 3D modeling's advantage is review sentiment (68% vs 50%) and chart position (#106 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
