Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Skyflow at none against Photo Timer+'s shown. Skyflow also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months). Photo Timer+'s advantage is review sentiment (93% vs 72%) and ratings volume (8.4K vs 590). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
