Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Eye Workout at Free against 3D Rings's $3.99. Eye Workout also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 38 months). 3D Rings's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 26.0). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
