# InShot vs Slide Show Makér

The clearest difference is review sentiment: InShot at 86% against Slide Show Makér's 38%. InShot also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (2.5M vs 12K). Slide Show Makér's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. InShot sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Slide Show Makér sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
