Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: PicShow at free with in-app purchases against Slide Show Maker ⁺'s subscription. PicShow also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 12 months). Slide Show Maker ⁺'s advantage is ratings volume (8K vs 27). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
