Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: magicplan at free with in-app purchases against SecondFloor's subscription. magicplan also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (41K vs 16). SecondFloor's advantage is review sentiment (60% vs 51%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. magicplan sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and SecondFloor sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $24.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

magicplan holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: magicplan has 41K ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of magicplan's written reviews are positive against 60% of SecondFloor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

magicplan ships an update weekly, SecondFloor fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and July 8, 2026 respectively.
