# Character Sheet vs Rollplay

Character Sheet and Rollplay both sit at 4.2 stars, but that hides the real split: 86% of Character Sheet's written reviews are positive against 50% of Rollplay's. Character Sheet also leads on ratings volume (276 vs 19) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Rollplay's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, 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 Rollplay sells 20 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.2 for Character Sheet against 4.3 for Rollplay. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Character Sheet has 276 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 86% of Character Sheet's written reviews are positive against 50% of Rollplay's.

Character Sheet ships an update every 6 weeks, Rollplay every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on July 16, 2026 and September 12, 2026 respectively.
