# MagicTable vs ParkScope

The clearest difference is monetization model: ParkScope at free against MagicTable's free with in-app purchases. ParkScope also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks) and device support (5 vs 3). MagicTable's advantage is ratings volume (5.8K vs 13) and chart position (#59 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MagicTable sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and ParkScope sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ParkScope holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MagicTable has 5.8K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 95% of MagicTable's written reviews are positive against 100% of ParkScope's.

MagicTable ships an update every 6 weeks, ParkScope fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
