Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ISD Studio 3D at 100% against Khronos glTF Viewer's 50%. ISD Studio 3D also leads on iOS requirement (12.2 vs 16.0). Khronos glTF Viewer's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 2.5) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price, ratings volume, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ISD Studio 3D sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Khronos glTF Viewer asks for nothing beyond the download.
Khronos glTF Viewer holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 2 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Khronos glTF Viewer's written reviews are positive against 100% of ISD Studio 3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
