# Squishy Magic vs Adley's PlaySpace

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Adley's PlaySpace at none against Squishy Magic's 9. Adley's PlaySpace also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). Squishy Magic's advantage is ratings volume (332K vs 1.5K) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Squishy Magic sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Adley's PlaySpace asks for nothing beyond the download.

Squishy Magic holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Squishy Magic has 332K ratings behind it against 1.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Squishy Magic's written reviews are positive against 87% of Adley's PlaySpace's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Squishy Magic ships an update every 5 weeks, Adley's PlaySpace fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
