# Simple Dice Roll vs Portal Timer

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Portal Timer at 100% against Simple Dice Roll's 27%. Portal Timer also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 9 months). Simple Dice Roll's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (17 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Simple Dice Roll sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Portal Timer sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Simple Dice Roll holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Simple Dice Roll has 17 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of Simple Dice Roll's written reviews are positive against 100% of Portal Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Simple Dice Roll ships an update every 9 months, Portal Timer weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
