Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SCP docs at 100% against MOSAIK Magic's 30%. SCP docs also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). MOSAIK Magic's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MOSAIK Magic holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SCP docs has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of MOSAIK Magic's written reviews are positive against 100% of SCP docs's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MOSAIK Magic ships an update every 4 months, SCP docs weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
