# Magic vs Udaka

The clearest difference is rating: Udaka at 5.0 against Magic's 4.4. Magic's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 13 months) and ratings volume (4.4K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Magic sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and Udaka sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Udaka holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Magic has 4.4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Magic ships an update monthly, Udaka every 13 months. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
