# Doodle Magic vs Bacon's Revenge

The clearest difference is rating: Bacon's Revenge at 4.7 against Doodle Magic's 4.3. Bacon's Revenge also leads on update cadence (every 11 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

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

Bacon's Revenge holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 15K and 12K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Doodle Magic's written reviews are positive against 54% of Bacon's Revenge'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, Bacon's Revenge every 11 days. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
