# Dungeon Roller vs Cthulhu Master

The clearest difference is ads: Dungeon Roller at none against Cthulhu Master's shown. Dungeon Roller also leads on rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 18 months). Cthulhu Master's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 70%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dungeon Roller sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Cthulhu Master sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Dungeon Roller holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dungeon Roller has 111 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Dungeon Roller's written reviews are positive against 100% of Cthulhu Master's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Dungeon Roller ships an update every 3 weeks, Cthulhu Master every 18 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
