# Video Maker vs Slideshow Maker・SlideFlow

The clearest difference is rating: Slideshow Maker・SlideFlow at 4.4 against Video Maker's 4.0. Slideshow Maker・SlideFlow also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Video Maker's advantage is review sentiment (64% vs 36%) and ratings volume (10K vs 195). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Video Maker sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Slideshow Maker・SlideFlow sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Slideshow Maker・SlideFlow holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Video Maker has 10K ratings behind it against 195, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Video Maker's written reviews are positive against 36% of Slideshow Maker・SlideFlow's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Video Maker ships an update every 2 months, Slideshow Maker・SlideFlow every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 23, 2026.
