# ARGoldenGlobe vs Magic Fluids

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ARGoldenGlobe at 100% against Magic Fluids's 48%. ARGoldenGlobe also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 9) and ads (none vs shown). Magic Fluids's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (4.7K vs 6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Magic Fluids sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. ARGoldenGlobe asks for nothing beyond the download.

Magic Fluids holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Magic Fluids has 4.7K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of ARGoldenGlobe's written reviews are positive against 48% of Magic Fluids's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ARGoldenGlobe ships an update every 11 days, Magic Fluids every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
