# Candy Bar Maker vs Slushy!

The clearest difference is rating: Candy Bar Maker at 4.8 against Slushy!'s 3.8. Candy Bar Maker also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (77% vs 49%). Slushy!'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Candy Bar Maker sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Slushy! sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Candy Bar Maker holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Candy Bar Maker has 1.5K ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 77% of Candy Bar Maker's written reviews are positive against 49% of Slushy!'s.

Candy Bar Maker ships an update weekly, Slushy! every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
