Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: SlideForge at none against iOS Desktop Mode's shown. SlideForge also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 80%). iOS Desktop Mode's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (19 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
