Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Cardi Magic holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Magic CarLight has 21 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of Magic CarLight's written reviews are positive against 0% of Cardi Magic's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 5, 2026 and September 11, 2026 respectively.
