Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Visual Anatomy Lite at Free against Anatomy 3D's $1.99. Visual Anatomy Lite also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.8) and update cadence (every 8 months vs every 48 months). Anatomy 3D's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
