# Character Sheet vs RPG Sounds

The clearest difference is rating: RPG Sounds at 4.7 against Character Sheet's 4.2. RPG Sounds also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). Character Sheet's advantage is review sentiment (86% vs 63%). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Character Sheet sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and RPG Sounds sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

RPG Sounds holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 275 and 199 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Character Sheet's written reviews are positive against 63% of RPG Sounds's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Character Sheet ships an update every 6 weeks, RPG Sounds fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
