SliceTimeCam is a camera app that allows you to shoot slit-scan video. Operate the SliceLine, hold the device steady and shoot, and enjoy the artistic changes. You can set the filter, countdown, resolution, and slit size. (Flick left or right to change filters). Take pictures of people, animals, cars, or anything else you like, control SliceLine, and take pictures like you've never seen before. This app is inspired by francois.vogel's slitscan expression.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SliceTimeCam at 5.0 against Surrealizer's 3.3. SliceTimeCam also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). Surrealizer's advantage is ratings volume (11 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support 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. Surrealizer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and SliceTimeCam sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
SliceTimeCam holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Surrealizer has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Surrealizer ships an update every 2 weeks, SliceTimeCam weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
