# Gravity vs Magic Fluids

The clearest difference is monetization model: Magic Fluids at free with in-app purchases against Gravity's subscription. Magic Fluids also leads on review sentiment (48% vs 25%). Gravity's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (35K vs 3.4K). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Gravity sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Magic Fluids sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 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 — 4.5 for Gravity against 4.6 for Magic Fluids. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gravity has 35K ratings behind it against 3.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 25% of Gravity's written reviews are positive against 48% of Magic Fluids's.

Gravity ships an update fortnightly, Magic Fluids every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
