Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Magical Creatures at 70% against Wizarding World's 28%. Magical Creatures also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Wizarding World's advantage is ratings volume (2.4K vs 22) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Magical Creatures sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Wizarding World sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Wizarding World holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wizarding World has 2.4K ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Magical Creatures's written reviews are positive against 28% of Wizarding World's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Magical Creatures ships an update every 3 months, Wizarding World every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
