# MagicTable vs MOWD.io

The clearest difference is ratings volume: MagicTable at 5.7K against MOWD.io's 172. MagicTable also leads on chart position (#57 vs unranked) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MagicTable sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and MOWD.io sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. 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 MagicTable against 4.9 for MOWD.io. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MagicTable has 5.7K ratings behind it against 172, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 95% of MagicTable's written reviews are positive against 99% of MOWD.io's.

MagicTable ships an update every 6 weeks, MOWD.io monthly. Both last shipped on October 17, 2026.
