Best of all, it has asynchronous multiplayer so you don't have to sit around waiting for someone to finish their turn, you can get back to it when you have the time instead.” Pocket Gamer

Both are free to download. Hexicon sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Dicefolk sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Hexicon holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 13 and 53 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Hexicon's written reviews are positive against 77% of Dicefolk's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Hexicon ships an update every 9 days, Dicefolk fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
