# Powernode vs Roll

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Roll at 78% against Powernode's 26%. Roll also leads on price (Free vs $1.99) and rating (4.6 vs 3.8). Powernode's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and chart position (#198 vs unranked). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Roll is free to download; Powernode costs $1.99 up front. Roll sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Powernode asks for nothing beyond the download.

Roll holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Roll has 439 ratings behind it against 51, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 26% of Powernode's written reviews are positive against 78% of Roll's.

Powernode ships an update every 5 months, Roll weekly. Both last shipped on September 27, 2026.
