Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pixidust at 77% against Skylight Social's 35%. Pixidust also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). Skylight Social's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (1.4K vs 8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Skylight Social holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Skylight Social has 1.4K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Pixidust's written reviews are positive against 35% of Skylight Social's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Pixidust ships an update every 3 days, Skylight Social fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
