Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Pipe It Puzzle Challenge at Free against Skyturns's $4.99. Pipe It Puzzle Challenge also leads on ratings volume (224 vs 20). Skyturns's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On rating, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
