# Magic vs Cinema Quattro

The clearest difference is ads: Magic at none against Cinema Quattro's shown. Magic also leads on chart position (#180 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

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