Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Skin at 4.5 against MoleScope™'s 3.8. Skin also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). MoleScope™'s advantage is review sentiment (56% vs 41%) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Skin holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Skin has 373 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of MoleScope™'s written reviews are positive against 41% of Skin's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MoleScope™ ships an update every 2 months, Skin every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
