# Saving Magic vs Tangle Tower

The clearest difference is price: Saving Magic at Free against Tangle Tower's $4.99. Saving Magic also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 92%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). Tangle Tower's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (179 vs 3). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Saving Magic is free to download; Tangle Tower costs $4.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Tangle Tower holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tangle Tower has 179 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Saving Magic's written reviews are positive against 92% of Tangle Tower's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
