Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Slime at every 5 days against Sparklite's every 2 months. Slime also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.1). Sparklite's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads 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. Slime sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Sparklite sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Sparklite holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 348 and 588 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Slime's written reviews are positive against 79% of Sparklite's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Slime ships an update every 5 days, Sparklite every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
