# Pirate's Dice vs Dice Lords

The clearest difference is rating: Dice Lords at 4.5 against Pirate's Dice's 2.5. Dice Lords also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 36 months) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 10). Pirate's Dice's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (55% vs 46%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pirate's Dice sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Dice Lords sells 19 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Dice Lords holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dice Lords has 1.1K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Pirate's Dice's written reviews are positive against 46% of Dice Lords's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Pirate's Dice ships an update every 36 months, Dice Lords every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on September 5, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
