Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: SILT at every 5 days against Slender Threads's every 3 weeks. SILT also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and chart position (#208 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Slender Threads sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and SILT sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SILT holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SILT has 4.2K ratings behind it against 519, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Slender Threads's written reviews are positive against 77% of SILT's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Slender Threads ships an update every 3 weeks, SILT every 5 days. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
