Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: ShipFaced at daily against MagicTable's every 6 weeks. ShipFaced also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). MagicTable's advantage is ratings volume (5.7K vs 1) and chart position (#43 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MagicTable sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and ShipFaced sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
ShipFaced holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MagicTable has 5.7K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
MagicTable ships an update every 6 weeks, ShipFaced daily. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
