Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: SlideShow Maker゜ at none against Slideshow Video Maker w/ Music's shown. SlideShow Maker゜ also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (500 vs 100). Slideshow Video Maker w/ Music's advantage is review sentiment (40% vs 13%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. SlideShow Maker゜ sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month and Slideshow Video Maker w/ Music sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SlideShow Maker゜ holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SlideShow Maker゜ has 500 ratings behind it against 100, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of SlideShow Maker゜'s written reviews are positive against 40% of Slideshow Video Maker w/ Music's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SlideShow Maker゜ ships an update every 2 months, Slideshow Video Maker w/ Music every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
