# Magic Touch vs Wizard Hero

Magic Touch and Wizard Hero both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 62% of Magic Touch's written reviews are positive against 27% of Wizard Hero's. Wizard Hero's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (7.9K vs 1.2K). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Magic Touch sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Wizard Hero sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Wizard Hero holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wizard Hero has 7.9K ratings behind it against 1.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Magic Touch's written reviews are positive against 27% of Wizard Hero's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Magic Touch ships an update every 2 months, Wizard Hero weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
