Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Smithing Master at none against Doodle Magic's shown. Smithing Master also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3). Doodle Magic's advantage is review sentiment (56% vs 47%) and ratings volume (15K vs 2.8K). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smithing Master sells 31 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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Smithing Master holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Doodle Magic has 15K ratings behind it against 2.8K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of Smithing Master's written reviews are positive against 56% of Doodle Magic's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Smithing Master ships an update every 3 weeks, Doodle Magic every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
