# Skylar vs Magic Dialer

The clearest difference is rating: Skylar at 4.0 against Magic Dialer's 3.5. Skylar also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Magic Dialer's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (30 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Skylar sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Magic Dialer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Skylar holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Magic Dialer has 30 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Skylar ships an update every 4 months, Magic Dialer every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
