Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Slicker at 100% against IMAX's 35%. Slicker also leads on rating (4.3 vs 2.2) and ads (none vs shown). IMAX's advantage is ratings volume (34 vs 6) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. IMAX sells 19 one-off in-app purchases and Slicker sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Slicker holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IMAX has 34 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 35% of IMAX's written reviews are positive against 100% of Slicker's.
