Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ASUS GlideX at 4.8 against PolyWorks|Talisman's 3.0. ASUS GlideX also leads on ratings volume (2.5K vs 7) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 3 months). PolyWorks|Talisman's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ASUS GlideX sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. PolyWorks|Talisman asks for nothing beyond the download.
ASUS GlideX holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ASUS GlideX has 2.5K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of PolyWorks|Talisman's written reviews are positive against 92% of ASUS GlideX's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
PolyWorks|Talisman ships an update every 3 months, ASUS GlideX every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
