Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Skyflow at 4.6 against FaceLapse's 3.4. Skyflow also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (590 vs 7). FaceLapse's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (89% vs 72%). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Skyflow sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and FaceLapse sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Skyflow holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Skyflow has 590 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Skyflow's written reviews are positive against 89% of FaceLapse's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Skyflow ships an update every 3 weeks, FaceLapse every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 1, 2026 respectively.
