# MagicTable vs Park Gems

The clearest difference is ads: MagicTable at none against Park Gems's shown. MagicTable also leads on ratings volume (5.8K vs 4) and chart position (#49 vs unranked). 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 Park Gems sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Park Gems 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 4, 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 Park Gems's.

MagicTable ships an update every 6 weeks, Park Gems every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 8, 2026.
