# Neon Keyboard™ vs Magic Key

The clearest difference is rating: Neon Keyboard™ at 4.5 against Magic Key's 3.3. Neon Keyboard™ also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (270 vs 29). Magic Key's advantage is review sentiment (41% vs 8%) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 9 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Neon Keyboard™ holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Neon Keyboard™ has 270 ratings behind it against 29, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 8% of Neon Keyboard™'s written reviews are positive against 41% of Magic Key's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Neon Keyboard™ ships an update every 9 months, Magic Key every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
