Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: imgSlides at 4.7 against SLIDESHOW's 3.9. imgSlides also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). SLIDESHOW's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. imgSlides sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and SLIDESHOW sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

imgSlides holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 79 and 90 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of imgSlides's written reviews are positive against 63% of SLIDESHOW's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

imgSlides ships an update every 4 months, SLIDESHOW every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
