# CREATE vs Vector Magic

The clearest difference is review sentiment: CREATE at 56% against Vector Magic's 0%. CREATE also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.8) and ratings volume (3.1K vs 42). Vector Magic's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CREATE sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Vector Magic sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CREATE holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CREATE has 3.1K ratings behind it against 42, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 56% of CREATE's written reviews are positive against 0% of Vector Magic's.

CREATE ships an update every 3 weeks, Vector Magic weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
