Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Chicago Sky Mobile at Free against BarzLoaded's $1.99. Chicago Sky Mobile also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (39 vs 4). BarzLoaded's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 33%) and ads (none vs shown). On update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Chicago Sky Mobile is free to download; BarzLoaded costs $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Chicago Sky Mobile holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chicago Sky Mobile has 39 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of BarzLoaded's written reviews are positive against 33% of Chicago Sky Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
