# Slidey® vs Piffle

The clearest difference is ads: Slidey® at none against Piffle's shown. Piffle's advantage is review sentiment (79% vs 57%) and ratings volume (22K vs 1.7K). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Slidey® sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Piffle sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Slidey® against 4.8 for Piffle. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Piffle has 22K ratings behind it against 1.7K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 57% of Slidey®'s written reviews are positive against 79% of Piffle's.

Slidey® ships an update every 2 months, Piffle monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
