# CutLabX vs 3D Model Maker

The clearest difference is rating: 3D Model Maker at 4.3 against CutLabX's 1.8. 3D Model Maker also leads on update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and ratings volume (313 vs 17). CutLabX's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (16 vs 26.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CutLabX sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and 3D Model Maker sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

3D Model Maker holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 3D Model Maker has 313 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 19% of CutLabX's written reviews are positive against 25% of 3D Model Maker's.

CutLabX ships an update monthly, 3D Model Maker weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
