Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: De Speld at none against Skoften's shown. De Speld also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Skoften's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 15 months) and ratings volume (42 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
