# Dunkers vs Timber Roller

The clearest difference is rating: Timber Roller at 4.3 against Dunkers's 3.6. Timber Roller also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 11 months). Dunkers's advantage is ratings volume (481 vs 13). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dunkers sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Timber Roller sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Timber Roller holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dunkers has 481 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of Dunkers's written reviews are positive against 40% of Timber Roller's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Dunkers ships an update every 11 months, Timber Roller every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 14, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
