# Reality Augmented (VR) vs AR Magic Gun

The clearest difference is rating: Reality Augmented (VR) at 4.3 against AR Magic Gun's 3.0. Reality Augmented (VR) also leads on ratings volume (446 vs 34). AR Magic Gun's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Reality Augmented (VR) sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. AR Magic Gun asks for nothing beyond the download.

Reality Augmented (VR) holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Reality Augmented (VR) has 446 ratings behind it against 34, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Reality Augmented (VR)'s written reviews are positive against 71% of AR Magic Gun's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Reality Augmented (VR) ships an update every 4 months, AR Magic Gun fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
