# Recall vs Magica

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Recall at none against Magica's 11. Magica's advantage is review sentiment (81% vs 55%) and ratings volume (725 vs 51). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Magica sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Recall asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.0 for Recall against 4.1 for Magica. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Magica has 725 ratings behind it against 51, so its average is the more settled of the two.
