# MagicResize vs DPI

The clearest difference is rating: DPI at 4.7 against MagicResize's 4.2. DPI also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 89). MagicResize's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MagicResize sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and DPI sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

DPI holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DPI has 1.1K ratings behind it against 89, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 60% and 60% positive.

MagicResize ships an update every 3 weeks, DPI every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
