Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: SkyThrow at 75% against SkyPost's 0%. SkyThrow also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). SkyPost's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 6 days vs monthly). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
