# Doodle Magic vs Geometry Tower

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Doodle Magic at 56% against Geometry Tower's 27%. Doodle Magic also leads on ratings volume (15K vs 4.7K) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Geometry Tower's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Doodle Magic sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Geometry Tower sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Geometry Tower holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 15K and 4.7K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Doodle Magic's written reviews are positive against 27% of Geometry Tower's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Doodle Magic ships an update every 6 weeks, Geometry Tower fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 4, 2026.
