# Project Life vs SlideBook

The clearest difference is price: Project Life at Free against SlideBook's $3.99. Project Life also leads on ratings volume (496 vs 8). SlideBook's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 72%) and rating (4.8 vs 4.4). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Project Life is free to download; SlideBook costs $3.99 up front. Project Life sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and SlideBook sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SlideBook holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Project Life has 496 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 72% of Project Life's written reviews are positive against 100% of SlideBook's.

Project Life ships an update every 3 weeks, SlideBook every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
