Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Flip Grip at none against Sky Surfing's 10. Flip Grip also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). Sky Surfing's advantage is ratings volume (7.6K vs 37). On price, rating, review sentiment and monetization model there is nothing between them.
