Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Skill at 4.8 against Climbzilla's 4.3. Skill also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (84 vs 4). Climbzilla's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and review sentiment (86% vs 78%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Skill holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Skill has 84 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Climbzilla's written reviews are positive against 78% of Skill's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Climbzilla ships an update monthly, Skill every 6 days. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
