Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Magical Rays at Free against AR Throwing Simulator's $0.99. Magical Rays also leads on ratings volume (206 vs 24). AR Throwing Simulator's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 8 months). On review sentiment, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Magical Rays is free to download; AR Throwing Simulator costs $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
AR Throwing Simulator holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Magical Rays has 206 ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Magical Rays's written reviews are positive against 82% of AR Throwing Simulator'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, AR Throwing Simulator weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 6, 2026 and August 17, 2026 respectively.
