Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: XPSView at none against 3D Model Viewer's shown. XPSView also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.2). 3D Model Viewer's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (328 vs 54). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. XPSView sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and 3D Model Viewer sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
XPSView holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 3D Model Viewer has 328 ratings behind it against 54, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of XPSView's written reviews are positive against 59% of 3D Model Viewer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
XPSView ships an update every 5 months, 3D Model Viewer every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
