Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Chain Reaction at none against Slice This!'s 1. Chain Reaction also leads on review sentiment (33% vs 11%) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 14.0). Slice This!'s advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 8 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Slice This! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Chain Reaction asks for nothing beyond the download.
Slice This! holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Slice This! has 5.8K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Chain Reaction's written reviews are positive against 11% of Slice This!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Chain Reaction ships an update every 8 months, Slice This! every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
