Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: DepthVR at 5.0 against Spatial Media Toolkit's 4.5. DepthVR also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 6) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). Spatial Media Toolkit's advantage is ratings volume (145 vs 2) and device support (4 vs 1). On price, ads, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
