# Merge Magic! vs Merge Legends

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Merge Magic! at 91K against Merge Legends's 2.5K. Merge Magic! also leads on chart position (#67 vs unranked). Merge Legends's advantage is review sentiment (69% vs 59%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Merge Magic! sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Merge Legends sells 20 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Merge Magic! against 4.8 for Merge Legends. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Merge Magic! has 91K ratings behind it against 2.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 59% of Merge Magic!'s written reviews are positive against 69% of Merge Legends's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
