# My Disney Experience vs MagicTable

My Disney Experience and MagicTable both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 95% of MagicTable's written reviews are positive against 47% of My Disney Experience's. MagicTable also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). My Disney Experience's advantage is ratings volume (3.1M vs 5.6K) and chart position (#1 vs #70). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. My Disney Experience sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and MagicTable sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for My Disney Experience against 4.8 for MagicTable. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Disney Experience has 3.1M ratings behind it against 5.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 47% of My Disney Experience's written reviews are positive against 95% of MagicTable's.

My Disney Experience ships an update fortnightly, MagicTable every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
