Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Nliven at 5.0 against SkyPilot 3's 4.3. Nliven also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). SkyPilot 3's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (13 vs 2). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
