Ikaro App is distributed in association with Ikaro Spectro (digital spectrophotometer) and can therefore only be used if you have the physical instrument for color detection.

The app manages, thanks to a smart interface and through guided paths, all the operations of: color reading, choice of the product to be formulated and data sending. STEP 2 - READING FORMULATION All the cloud servers, through specific algorithms, perform all the calculations and return the formula for the color of the desired product and for the requested quantity. STEP 3 - PRODUCTION AND/OR CORRECTION OF THE FORMULATION The color shade correction step to perform quality controls on color productions. By producing a sample of the previously formulated color, the app manages a possible correction of the same through a rereading of the sample produced with the spectrophotometer. STEP 4 – ORDER As an additional module, you can send the formulation to a dealer's PC who can produce the requested order on their desktop PC.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Geist Leathercare at none against Ikaro's shown. Geist Leathercare also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Ikaro's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
