Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Skyflow at 72% against DSLR Timelapse's 14%. Skyflow also leads on rating (4.6 vs 1.0) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 17 months). DSLR Timelapse's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (11.1 vs 14.3). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
