Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: SAMSUNG SLP at 100% against OhmPlug's 21%. SAMSUNG SLP also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). OhmPlug's advantage is ratings volume (958 vs 6) and rating (4.3 vs 4.0). On price, ads, 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
OhmPlug holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OhmPlug has 958 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of SAMSUNG SLP's written reviews are positive against 21% of OhmPlug's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SAMSUNG SLP ships an update monthly, OhmPlug every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
