Both are free to download. Magic Eraser sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Magic Touch sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Magic Eraser against 4.7 for Magic Touch. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Magic Eraser has 1.7K ratings behind it against 94, so its average is the more settled of the two.
