Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Sequence at 4.3 against CAD Smart Modeling's 3.5. Sequence also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 months). CAD Smart Modeling's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
