Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Skylight App at 4.8 against DanceBUG's 3.5. Skylight App also leads on review sentiment (69% vs 38%) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). DanceBUG's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 21). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
