Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: DPFrame at 4.5 against SilkSlide's 3.0. DPFrame also leads on ratings volume (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (5.1.1 vs 16.0). SilkSlide's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
