# Splice vs MoShow Slideshow Maker Video

The clearest difference is monetization model: MoShow Slideshow Maker Video at freemium against Splice's subscription. Splice's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks) and chart position (#17 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Splice sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and MoShow Slideshow Maker Video sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MoShow Slideshow Maker Video holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Splice has 431K ratings behind it against 73K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Splice's written reviews are positive against 65% of MoShow Slideshow Maker Video's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Splice ships an update fortnightly, MoShow Slideshow Maker Video every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
