# Magic vs CODMunity

The clearest difference is review sentiment: CODMunity at 87% against Magic's 30%. CODMunity also leads on rating (4.9 vs 2.3) and ratings volume (36K vs 819). Magic's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 13) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CODMunity sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Magic asks for nothing beyond the download.

CODMunity holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 2.3.
