Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: ModelPlay at Free against MapCrafter's $0.99. ModelPlay also leads on rating (3.0 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (8 vs 1). MapCrafter's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (50% vs 27%). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ModelPlay holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ModelPlay has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of ModelPlay's written reviews are positive against 50% of MapCrafter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
