Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Samkok at none against Magic Defense's shown. Samkok also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (1.4K vs 432). Magic Defense's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and review sentiment (57% vs 43%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Magic Defense sells 19 one-off in-app purchases and Samkok sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Samkok holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 432 and 1.4K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Magic Defense's written reviews are positive against 43% of Samkok's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Magic Defense ships an update weekly, Samkok monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
