# Dora dungeons vs Magic Chess

The clearest difference is rating: Magic Chess at 5.0 against Dora dungeons's 3.6. Magic Chess also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 65%) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). Dora dungeons's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (23 vs 3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dora dungeons sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Magic Chess sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Magic Chess holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dora dungeons has 23 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 65% of Dora dungeons's written reviews are positive against 100% of Magic Chess's.

Dora dungeons ships an update every 2 months, Magic Chess every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
