Both are free to download. Magic Home Pro sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. BSW asks for nothing beyond the download.
Magic Home Pro holds the better App Store score, 2.8 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Magic Home Pro has 933 ratings behind it against 42, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 39% of BSW's written reviews are positive against 26% of Magic Home Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
BSW ships an update every 5 weeks, Magic Home Pro every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
