Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Throneward at none against 3D Benchmark's 1. Throneward also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 10 months). 3D Benchmark's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
