# Hippity Hop vs Magical Creatures

The clearest difference is rating: Hippity Hop at 5.0 against Magical Creatures's 4.3. Hippity Hop also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 70%). Magical Creatures's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 38 months) and ratings volume (22 vs 3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hippity Hop sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Magical Creatures sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hippity Hop holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Magical Creatures has 22 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Hippity Hop's written reviews are positive against 70% of Magical Creatures's.

Hippity Hop ships an update every 38 months, Magical Creatures every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
