Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ReunionTouch at 3.7 against Slide Rule's 1.0. ReunionTouch also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 29 months) and ratings volume (56 vs 1). Slide Rule's advantage is price ($0.99 vs $9.99) and review sentiment (75% vs 46%). On ads, in-app purchases 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
Slide Rule costs $0.99 and ReunionTouch $9.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
ReunionTouch holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ReunionTouch has 56 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Slide Rule's written reviews are positive against 46% of ReunionTouch's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Slide Rule ships an update every 29 months, ReunionTouch every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
