Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Sky at Free against Phantom P.I.'s $0.99. Sky also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 8 months). Phantom P.I.'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
