Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Visual Acupuncture 3D at 4.6 against Massage Maps's 3.5. Visual Acupuncture 3D also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Massage Maps sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Visual Acupuncture 3D sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
