Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Gibbets at 4.6 against Slime Labs's 3.6. Slime Labs's advantage is review sentiment (59% vs 42%) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Gibbets sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Slime Labs sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Gibbets holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 229 and 189 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of Gibbets's written reviews are positive against 59% of Slime Labs's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Gibbets ships an update every 3 months, Slime Labs every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
