# Slatable vs BroadwayHD

The clearest difference is rating: Slatable at 4.5 against BroadwayHD's 2.8. Slatable also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). BroadwayHD's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Slatable sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and BroadwayHD sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Slatable holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Slatable has 691 ratings behind it against 32, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 31% of Slatable's written reviews are positive against 13% of BroadwayHD's.

Slatable ships an update every 2 weeks, BroadwayHD every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
