Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: str33m at none against Slater's 2. str33m also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (24 vs 2). Slater's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
