# Magic Flute vs Wave Dash

The clearest difference is ads: Magic Flute at none against Wave Dash's shown. Magic Flute also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 84%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Wave Dash's advantage is ratings volume (12K vs 12) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Magic Flute sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Wave Dash sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Magic Flute against 4.6 for Wave Dash. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wave Dash has 12K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of Magic Flute's written reviews are positive against 84% of Wave Dash's.

Magic Flute ships an update monthly, Wave Dash fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
