# Slidezilla vs Transitions

The clearest difference is rating: Transitions at 4.7 against Slidezilla's 4.1. Transitions also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). Slidezilla's advantage is review sentiment (64% vs 50%) and ratings volume (247 vs 58). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Slidezilla sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Transitions sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Transitions holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 247 and 58 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Slidezilla's written reviews are positive against 50% of Transitions's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Slidezilla ships an update every 6 weeks, Transitions weekly. Both last shipped on September 17, 2026.
