# MagicWidgets vs Flop

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Flop at 84% against MagicWidgets's 35%. Flop also leads on monetization model (paid vs subscription). MagicWidgets's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MagicWidgets sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Flop sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MagicWidgets holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MagicWidgets has 7.3K ratings behind it against 312, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of MagicWidgets's written reviews are positive against 84% of Flop's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

MagicWidgets ships an update fortnightly, Flop every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
