# Spell Masters vs Galaxy Swirl

Spell Masters and Galaxy Swirl both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Galaxy Swirl's written reviews are positive against 47% of Spell Masters's. Spell Masters's advantage is ratings volume (340 vs 60). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spell Masters sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Galaxy Swirl sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Spell Masters holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spell Masters has 340 ratings behind it against 60, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of Spell Masters's written reviews are positive against 100% of Galaxy Swirl's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Spell Masters ships an update every 2 weeks, Galaxy Swirl every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
