Verdict

The call

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.

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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Magical Creatures ships an update every 3 months, Wizarding World every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
