# Device Magic vs Zoho Forms

Device Magic and Zoho Forms both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 59% of Zoho Forms's written reviews are positive against 45% of Device Magic's. Device Magic's advantage is ratings volume (3.7K vs 454). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Device Magic sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $49.99 per month and Zoho Forms sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Device Magic against 4.6 for Zoho Forms. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Device Magic has 3.7K ratings behind it against 454, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 45% of Device Magic's written reviews are positive against 59% of Zoho Forms's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
