Screen size and placement
Skylight Calendar 2 is a 15-inch screen with a countertop stand and a wall mount. Apolosign's range includes a 15.6-inch, a 21.5-inch, a 27-inch and a 27-inch 4K; the 21.5-inch and larger are described as wall-mount units.
If you want a counter-top unit, Skylight's 15-inch or Apolosign's 15.6-inch are the comparable options. If you want a big wall display, compare Skylight Max with Apolosign's 27-inch.
Chores, rewards and subscription
Apolosign's pages list routines that turn chores into points and rewards, with no subscription. Skylight lists chores as free and rewards as part of Plus at $79 per year. Over three years that is the difference between $379 for Apolosign's 21.5-inch and about $537 for a Skylight Calendar 2 with Plus, though the screens are different sizes.
Software approach
Apolosign's own comparison page describes an open Android layer with widgets and the Google Play Store. Skylight is a closed system that says you cannot browse the internet or social media on it. Open apps give flexibility; a closed screen is harder for a kid to wander off in. Apolosign's page is written by a competitor of Skylight, so we use it only for Apolosign's own claims.
Choose Apolosign on paper if you want a large screen and rewards with no plan. Choose Skylight if you prefer a closed calendar-first device in a 15-inch size and don't mind Plus for stars.
