Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: DNRcast at 96% against Skylight Social's 35%. DNRcast also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.4). Skylight Social's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (1.4K vs 100). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
