Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Join a Join at fortnightly against Skootel's every 4 months. Join a Join also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Skootel's advantage is ratings volume (3.2K vs 2). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Join a Join against 4.9 for Skootel. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Skootel has 3.2K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
