# PerformanceTest Mobile vs Disk Test by Magic Benchmark

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PerformanceTest Mobile at none against Disk Test by Magic Benchmark's 1. PerformanceTest Mobile also leads on ratings volume (56 vs 9) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Disk Test by Magic Benchmark sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. PerformanceTest Mobile asks for nothing beyond the download.

PerformanceTest Mobile holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PerformanceTest Mobile has 56 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of PerformanceTest Mobile's written reviews are positive against 60% of Disk Test by Magic Benchmark's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

PerformanceTest Mobile ships an update every 6 weeks, Disk Test by Magic Benchmark every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 1, 2026 and July 5, 2026 respectively.
