Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Dice Roller by Daydream at none against D&D Beyond's shown. Dice Roller by Daydream also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). D&D Beyond's advantage is ratings volume (93K vs 2) and chart position (#64 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
