Both are free to download. Frame Pro sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. SlideStream asks for nothing beyond the download.
Frame Pro holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1 and 1 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Frame Pro's written reviews are positive against 100% of SlideStream's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and August 16, 2026 respectively.
