Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Custom Skin Creator at 4.6 against Effectify for Messenger's 2.7. Custom Skin Creator also leads on review sentiment (85% vs 47%) and ratings volume (35K vs 27). Effectify for Messenger's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.6). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
