# Magic vs Logitech G

The clearest difference is rating: Logitech G at 4.7 against Magic's 2.3. Logitech G also leads on ratings volume (6.4K vs 819). Magic's advantage is chart position (#195 vs unranked) and review sentiment (30% vs 19%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Logitech G holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Logitech G has 6.4K ratings behind it against 819, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Magic's written reviews are positive against 19% of Logitech G's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Magic ships an update every 5 weeks, Logitech G every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
