# Magic FX vs Magic Fill

The clearest difference is ads: Magic Fill at none against Magic FX's shown. Magic Fill also leads on review sentiment (40% vs 18%). Magic FX's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (3.3K vs 73). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Magic FX sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Magic Fill sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $12.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Magic FX holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Magic FX has 3.3K ratings behind it against 73, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 18% of Magic FX's written reviews are positive against 40% of Magic Fill's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Magic FX ships an update monthly, Magic Fill every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
