Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: imgSlides at 4.7 against Slide X ● Slideshow Creator's 4.1. imgSlides also leads on ratings volume (79 vs 18). Slide X ● Slideshow Creator's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
