Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WISEcode UPF Detector at none against SkinLens's 4. WISEcode UPF Detector also leads on ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#75 vs unranked). SkinLens's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
