Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Item Pack 3D at Free against Doodle Dots's $0.99. Item Pack 3D also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.3) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). Doodle Dots's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 1). On in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
