Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: BOXD at 4.5 against Idle Dice's 4.0. BOXD also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Idle Dice's advantage is ratings volume (1.6K vs 68). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BOXD sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Idle Dice sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings
