Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: i3DDepthCam at 100% against Depth Sketch's 50%. i3DDepthCam also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 6 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Depth Sketch's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.7) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. i3DDepthCam sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Depth Sketch asks for nothing beyond the download.
Depth Sketch holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Depth Sketch has 15 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Depth Sketch's written reviews are positive against 100% of i3DDepthCam's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Depth Sketch ships an update every 6 months, i3DDepthCam weekly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
