Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: VRC App at daily against Skyward Mobile Access's fortnightly. VRC App also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). Skyward Mobile Access's advantage is chart position (#52 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
