# Slime vs Nom Plant

The clearest difference is monetization model: Slime at free with in-app purchases against Nom Plant's subscription. Slime also leads on review sentiment (85% vs 48%) and ads (none vs shown). Nom Plant's advantage is ratings volume (36K vs 348). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Slime sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Nom Plant sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Slime against 4.6 for Nom Plant. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nom Plant has 36K ratings behind it against 348, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 85% of Slime's written reviews are positive against 48% of Nom Plant's.

Slime ships an update every 5 days, Nom Plant every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
