Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: The ReaList at 4.5 against Magic Calculator's 4.0. The ReaList also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (30 vs 1). Magic Calculator's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 81%) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The ReaList sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Magic Calculator sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $66.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

The ReaList holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The ReaList has 30 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of The ReaList's written reviews are positive against 100% of Magic Calculator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

The ReaList ships an update fortnightly, Magic Calculator every 5 days. Both last shipped on October 28, 2026.
