Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Hocus Puzzle sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Witch & Magic sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Witch & Magic holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 41 and 50 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of Hocus Puzzle's written reviews are positive against 50% of Witch & Magic's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Hocus Puzzle ships an update fortnightly, Witch & Magic every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
