Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: SlideShow Maker゜ at freemium against Slide Show Maker ⁺'s subscription. SlideShow Maker゜ also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 12 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). Slide Show Maker ⁺'s advantage is ratings volume (8K vs 497) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases 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 Slide Show Maker ⁺ 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

Slide Show Maker ⁺ holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Slide Show Maker ⁺ has 8K ratings behind it against 497, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of SlideShow Maker゜'s written reviews are positive against 6% of Slide Show Maker ⁺'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, Slide Show Maker ⁺ every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
