Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Chihiros Magic holds the better App Store score, 2.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chihiros Magic has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 9% of Chihiros Magic's written reviews are positive against 14% of AIPAI's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Chihiros Magic ships an update every 3 weeks, AIPAI monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
