Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Privé Magazine at none against Skoften's shown. Privé Magazine 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 5 months) and ratings volume (42 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
