Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Gorathar at 79% against Aftermagic's 42%. Gorathar also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly). Aftermagic's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (393 vs 25). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Gorathar sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Aftermagic sells 41 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Aftermagic holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Aftermagic has 393 ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Gorathar's written reviews are positive against 42% of Aftermagic's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Gorathar ships an update every 2 days, Aftermagic weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
