Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Affliction at none against Primitive Skate's shown. Affliction also leads on monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.
