# ImageKit vs FaceMagic

The clearest difference is rating: FaceMagic at 4.2 against ImageKit's 2.3. FaceMagic also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). ImageKit's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (30% vs 0%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FaceMagic sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. ImageKit asks for nothing beyond the download.

FaceMagic holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ImageKit has 53 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of ImageKit's written reviews are positive against 0% of FaceMagic's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ImageKit ships an update every 3 weeks, FaceMagic every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on June 8, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
