Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Gradient Magick at none against SkyCode's shown. Gradient Magick also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 16.0). SkyCode's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 8 months) and review sentiment (55% vs 25%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
