Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: FishPond at none against Climbing Fish 3D's shown. FishPond also leads on review sentiment (70% vs 38%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Climbing Fish 3D's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (139 vs 17). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
