Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Autodesk Fusion at none against ContextStacker's 2. Autodesk Fusion also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). ContextStacker's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
