# Auralux vs Roll

The clearest difference is update cadence: Roll at weekly against Auralux's every 2 months. Auralux's advantage is ratings volume (5.2K vs 439) and review sentiment (87% vs 78%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Auralux sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and Roll sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Auralux against 4.6 for Roll. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Auralux has 5.2K ratings behind it against 439, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 87% of Auralux's written reviews are positive against 78% of Roll's.

Auralux ships an update every 2 months, Roll weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
