# Future Past vs Slice

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Slice at 28 against Future Past's 1. Slice also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Future Past sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Slice sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Future Past against 4.9 for Slice. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Slice has 28 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

Future Past ships an update fortnightly, Slice every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and August 30, 2026 respectively.
