Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Rolly Vortex at 4.6 against Rotator's 4.1. Rolly Vortex also leads on update cadence (every 4 months vs every 26 months) and ratings volume (305K vs 219). Rotator's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (68% vs 53%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Rolly Vortex sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Rotator sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Rolly Vortex holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rolly Vortex has 305K ratings behind it against 219, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Rolly Vortex's written reviews are positive against 68% of Rotator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Rolly Vortex ships an update every 4 months, Rotator every 26 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
