Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Skin at 4.5 against StrepApp's 2.7. Skin also leads on review sentiment (41% vs 0%) and ratings volume (371 vs 7). StrepApp's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
