Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
++SlideShow holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ++SlideShow has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of SlideStream's written reviews are positive against 25% of ++SlideShow's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SlideStream ships an update every 3 months, ++SlideShow every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
