# Self vs MargoMagic

Self and MargoMagic are too close to call on the numbers: across 6 compared parameters — price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.

Both are free to download. Self sells 22 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and MargoMagic sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 13, 2026 and December 21, 2025 respectively.
