Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Magic Reserve at freemium against My DVC Plan's subscription. Magic Reserve also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). My DVC Plan's advantage is ratings volume (15 vs 1) and chart position (#79 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases 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. My DVC Plan sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Magic Reserve sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for My DVC Plan against 5.0 for Magic Reserve. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My DVC Plan has 15 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
My DVC Plan ships an update every 3 weeks, Magic Reserve every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and July 3, 2026 respectively.
