Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Garage Time at 5.0 against ExSkate's 1.6. Garage Time also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 25 months). ExSkate's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and ratings volume (8 vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
