Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Sketch Plane at none against Playground 3D!'s shown. Sketch Plane also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). Playground 3D!'s advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (10K vs 116). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
