Magic Utilities is the established way to use Apple's Magic peripherals on Windows, and it works well. Tenon goes further — custom gesture mapping, AirPods, and one flat price for every device, plus a genuinely free tier. Here's the honest side-by-side.
~$15/device/yr
Mature and proven — but priced per device.
$50/yr
Every Apple device you own — and more capable.
If you have a single device and want something shipping today, Magic Utilities is a solid, established choice — and Tenon is still in beta. Where Tenon wins is capability: custom gesture mapping, AirPods, a free tier, and more than one Apple device under one flat price — for people who want the most from their Apple gear, not the lowest price.
