Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: File Gallery at 4.5 against SlideStream's 4.0. File Gallery also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (13 vs 1). SlideStream's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 63%) and in-app purchases (none vs 3). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. File Gallery sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. SlideStream asks for nothing beyond the download.
File Gallery holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: File Gallery has 13 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 63% of File Gallery'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, File Gallery monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
