Why magnet attracts lighter object faster, but earths gravity attracts all objects at same speed?

If you have 2 iron spheres and a magnet, the lighter sphere will move first to the magnet. But with earths gravity fall tests we know that every object falls with the same speed when dropped no matter theirs weight. What makes it different?

Also, gravity attraction drops off at the square of distance, magnet force of attraction drops off at cubed of distance (theoretically if you had a monopole which means just Positive pole or just Negative pole it would drop off at square of distance) I’m not positive this has an effect on your question, but it might.
