# Below vs Magic Reality

The clearest difference is rating: Magic Reality at 5.0 against Below's 4.0. Magic Reality also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Below's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (6 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Below sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Magic Reality sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Magic Reality holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6 and 2 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Below's written reviews are positive against 63% of Magic Reality's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Below ships an update every 11 days, Magic Reality monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 7, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
