Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: INMOST at 4.9 against Slender Threads's 4.6. INMOST also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). Slender Threads's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
