Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Magic Clock at none against Fake Call's shown. Magic Clock also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Fake Call's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 11 days). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
