Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Slide Show Maker ⁺ at 4.7 against Transition Maker's 2.9. Slide Show Maker ⁺ also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (8K vs 138). Transition Maker's advantage is review sentiment (20% vs 6%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Transition Maker sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Slide Show Maker ⁺ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Slide Show Maker ⁺ holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Slide Show Maker ⁺ has 8K ratings behind it against 138, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Transition Maker's written reviews are positive against 6% of Slide Show Maker ⁺'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Transition Maker ships an update every 11 months, Slide Show Maker ⁺ every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
