Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Fireworks holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Magical Rays has 206 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Magical Rays's written reviews are positive against 33% of Fireworks's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Magical Rays ships an update every 8 months, Fireworks every 19 months. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
