Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Polymagical at 100% against 3D modeling's 68%. Polymagical also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). 3D modeling's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (15K vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. 3D modeling sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Polymagical sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
3D modeling holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 3D modeling has 15K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of 3D modeling's written reviews are positive against 100% of Polymagical's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
