# Vexed+ vs Dice by PCalc

The clearest difference is rating: Dice by PCalc at 4.9 against Vexed+'s 4.4. Dice by PCalc also leads on ratings volume (338 vs 5) and chart position (#74 vs unranked). Vexed+'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 weeks). On ads there is nothing between them.

Vexed+ costs $0.99 and Dice by PCalc $1.99 up front. Dice by PCalc sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Vexed+ asks for nothing beyond the download.

Dice by PCalc holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dice by PCalc has 338 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Vexed+'s written reviews are positive against 91% of Dice by PCalc's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Vexed+ ships an update every 3 days, Dice by PCalc every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
