# Swordigo vs Magic Touch

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Swordigo at 95% against Magic Touch's 62%. Swordigo also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (7.9K vs 1.2K). Magic Touch's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Swordigo sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Magic Touch sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Swordigo holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Swordigo has 7.9K ratings behind it against 1.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 95% of Swordigo's written reviews are positive against 62% of Magic Touch's.
