Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Text file checklist at none against SkyCheck's 1. Text file checklist also leads on iOS requirement (6.0 vs 18.0). SkyCheck's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 8 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
