SkyLens turns your iPhone into a pocket meteorologist. Point at the sky, tap the shutter, and SkyLens identifies the cloud overhead — then tells you what weather it predicts. Unlike apps that just dump a Latin name, SkyLens reads the sky. Every cloud species comes with a Weather Insight: a cirrus halo means a warm front and rain within 24 hours; a towering cumulonimbus warns of thunderstorms; fair-weather cumulus signals a stable, sunny day. Learn to forecast the weather the way sailors and farmers have for centuries — just by looking up.

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Clime8 at none against SkyLens's 1. Clime8 also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
