Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Skyflow at 4.6 against Brinno's 2.4. Skyflow also leads on review sentiment (72% vs 33%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 9 months). Brinno's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 14.3). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
