The fastest way to evaluate potential skin cancers. Get an expert opinion without the wait. CheckMySpot allows users to submit a photo of a single skin lesion and have a board-certified dermatologist review the spot within 24-48 hours. Once screened, the dermatologist will select 1 of 3 dispositions: 1) Green: benign (no clinic visit needed at this time but user should monitor for future changes, 2) Yellow: indeterminate (non-urgent clinic visit needed), and 3) Red: worrisome (demonstrates characteristics of skin cancer, urgent clinic visit needed). If a user receives a yellow or red disposition, CheckMySpot will expedite a referral either their existing dermatologist or a qualified dermatologist in their area. CheckMySpot is easy to use: 1.

There are no analytics SDKs, no telemetry, no servers we control. Your photos and notes never leave your phone unless you explicitly share or back them up. Backups are end-to-end encrypted with a key stored in your iCloud Keychain — even Apple can't read them. Languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Russian. Important: Molely is not a medical device. This app helps you observe and document your skin. It does not diagnose, treat, or provide medical advice.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CheckMySpot at none against Skin & Mole Tracker's 2. CheckMySpot also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.6). Skin & Mole Tracker's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
