Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Slice & Dice at Free against Pachoink!'s $1.99. Slice & Dice also leads on ratings volume (888 vs 25) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 9 months). Pachoink!'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). On review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Slice & Dice holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Slice & Dice has 888 ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of Pachoink!'s written reviews are positive against 89% of Slice & Dice's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Pachoink! ships an update every 9 months, Slice & Dice every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on August 24, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
