# Savage Clash vs Doodle Magic

Savage Clash and Doodle Magic both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 56% of Doodle Magic's written reviews are positive against 18% of Savage Clash's. Doodle Magic also leads on ratings volume (15K vs 303). Savage Clash's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Savage Clash sells 16 one-off in-app purchases and Doodle Magic sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for Savage Clash against 4.3 for Doodle Magic. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Doodle Magic has 15K ratings behind it against 303, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 18% of Savage Clash's written reviews are positive against 56% of Doodle Magic's.

Savage Clash ships an update fortnightly, Doodle Magic every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
