Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SkySmart at 4.0 against Illumination Fx's 2.1. Illumination Fx's advantage is review sentiment (30% vs 14%) and ratings volume (16 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
SkySmart holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Illumination Fx has 16 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Illumination Fx's written reviews are positive against 14% of SkySmart's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Illumination Fx ships an update every 4 months, SkySmart every 9 months. Both last shipped on November 2, 2026.
