Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Magic FX at 4.4 against Toon FX's 3.3. Magic FX also leads on ratings volume (3.3K vs 7). Toon FX's advantage is review sentiment (57% vs 18%) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Toon FX sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Magic FX sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Magic FX holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Magic FX has 3.3K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Toon FX's written reviews are positive against 18% of Magic FX's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
