Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Skyflow at 4.6 against CameraTime's 3.0. Skyflow also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (590 vs 1). CameraTime's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and iOS requirement (5.1.1 vs 14.3). On price, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
