Verdict
The clearest difference is price: AQUALIA at Free against Magic Fish AR's $0.99. AQUALIA also leads on ratings volume (1K vs 13) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). Magic Fish AR's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 15) and ads (none vs shown). On rating, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
