Experience time in a whole new way! Poloska transforms your iPhone into a slit-scan camera, letting you take surreal and mesmerizing pictures like never before. Rather than taking a single snapshot, Poloska records continuous slices of time, creating dynamic images that reveal motion, distortion, and unique visual effects. Unleash your creativity and have fun with photography! How it works: - Slit-scan magic: Poloska captures hundreds of frames per second, extracting a narrow slice from each frame and merging them into one flowing image.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Poloska at none against SliceTimeCam's 2. SliceTimeCam's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
