# Joint Craft vs 3DApollo

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 3DApollo at 100% against Joint Craft's 57%. 3DApollo also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.0). Joint Craft's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (62 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Joint Craft sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and 3DApollo sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Joint Craft holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Joint Craft has 62 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Joint Craft's written reviews are positive against 100% of 3DApollo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
