Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Mitdu at Free against Skydive Altimeter's $0.99. Mitdu also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.4) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 months). Skydive Altimeter's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
