# MagicWidgets vs Mood Bubble

The clearest difference is monetization model: Mood Bubble at freemium against MagicWidgets's subscription. Mood Bubble also leads on review sentiment (56% vs 35%) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). MagicWidgets's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (7.3K vs 677). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MagicWidgets sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Mood Bubble sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MagicWidgets holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MagicWidgets has 7.3K ratings behind it against 677, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of MagicWidgets's written reviews are positive against 56% of Mood Bubble's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

MagicWidgets ships an update fortnightly, Mood Bubble every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
