# Flatters vs Magic FX

Flatters and Magic FX both sit at 4.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 80% of Flatters's written reviews are positive against 18% of Magic FX's. Flatters also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). Magic FX's advantage is monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and ratings volume (3.3K vs 1K). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flatters sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days 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.

Magic FX holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1K and 3.3K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Flatters'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.

Flatters ships an update every 2 weeks, Magic FX monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
