Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Skyflow at 4.6 against Time's 3.5. Skyflow also leads on review sentiment (72% vs 50%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Time's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.3). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
