Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Pew Review at fortnightly against Slate Forums's every 5 months. Pew Review also leads on ratings volume (5 vs 1). Slate Forums's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.6). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
