Cloudbase is the skydiving logbook that fills itself in. LOGGED FOR YOU Manifest at a synced dropzone and the jump is in your logbook before you've packed. Record with your phone and it detects the jump, or bring your tracks in from FlySight, Dekunu, Garmin, GoPro and more. Manual logging, gear and PDF export are all there when you need them. REPLAY EVERY JUMP See your exit, freefall, deployment and landing on the map, alongside everyone else on the load. YOUR CREW Follow the people you jump with, react to their days, and celebrate the milestones together. Every dropzone has a page with who's jumping, the weather, and a leaderboard. ON YOUR WRIST The Apple Watch app shows altitude and climb rate live, detects your jump, and logs it. A companion for your logbook, not a substitute for your certified altimeter. PRO Logging, DZ mode, the watch altimeter, replay and export are free. Pro adds per-jump analysis with peak speeds and phase breakdown, your whole career in insights, a tracking dive planner, Body Flight Lab, dropzone weather radar, cloud backup and early access.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Skene at none against Cloudbase App's 2. Cloudbase App's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
