Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: FORMD at 4.8 against Ski's 4.0. FORMD also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 50%) and ratings volume (116 vs 4). Ski's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, 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. Ski sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and FORMD sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
FORMD holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FORMD has 116 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Ski's written reviews are positive against 78% of FORMD's.
Ski ships an update every 2 weeks, FORMD weekly. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
