# Meow vs 魔法小组件

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Meow at 83% against 魔法小组件's 35%. 魔法小组件's advantage is rating (4.2 vs 3.8) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Meow sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per year and 魔法小组件 sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

魔法小组件 holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 12 and 15 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Meow's written reviews are positive against 35% of 魔法小组件's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Meow ships an update every 5 weeks, 魔法小组件 every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
