Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Thirdvote at 100% against Skylight Social's 35%. Thirdvote also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Skylight Social's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 46). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Thirdvote holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7.
