Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Tentacles at none against Slime Labs's shown. Tentacles also leads on rating (4.0 vs 3.6) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 6 weeks). Slime Labs's advantage is review sentiment (59% vs 47%). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Tentacles sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Slime Labs sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Tentacles holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 174 and 189 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of Tentacles's written reviews are positive against 59% of Slime Labs's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Tentacles ships an update every 11 days, Slime Labs every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
