By using gestures the Alora watch app allows you to have your hands free while presenting together with its Mac or Windows companion app. With gestures, you have more freedom and can talk easier with your hands which shows confidence and calmness, or if you are giving a workshop where you need to hold an item you don't need those big clickers anymore. Instead, you can use gestures to move through your presentation. If you don't want to use gestures you can turn them off and use the watch as a clicker. All that straight from your wrist.

The clearest difference is update cadence: Alora at every 3 months against Sloooow's every 38 months. Alora also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
