Verdict
Skylight Social and Open Caption Finder both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Open Caption Finder's written reviews are positive against 35% of Skylight Social's. Skylight Social's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 10) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
