Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Slate Forums at none against Fora Communities's shown. Slate Forums also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Fora Communities's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
