RollMap Auto-Detection is also available in Beta where you can tap you and your opponent on a few moments throughout your roll, and RollMap tracks you both through the roll and suggests your positions on the timeline.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Rugby Xplorer at none against RollLab's 2. Rugby Xplorer also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). RollLab's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
