Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Heritage Pool Plus at 100% against Skimmer Pro's 47%. Heritage Pool Plus also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Skimmer Pro's advantage is ratings volume (3.5K vs 31) and update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
