# Real Magic vs BodyNav

The clearest difference is price: Real Magic at Free against BodyNav's $0.99. Real Magic also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 19 months) and rating (4.6 vs 4.2). BodyNav's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (100% vs 84%). On ads there is nothing between them.

Real Magic is free to download; BodyNav costs $0.99 up front. Real Magic sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. BodyNav asks for nothing beyond the download.

Real Magic holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Real Magic has 243 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Real Magic's written reviews are positive against 100% of BodyNav's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Real Magic ships an update every 3 weeks, BodyNav every 19 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and August 23, 2026 respectively.
