Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: AR at none against MiniYou3D's shown. AR also leads on ratings volume (11 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). MiniYou3D's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
