Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Dicey Elementalist at 5.1K against Idle Chest's 109. Dicey Elementalist also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Idle Chest's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly) and review sentiment (81% vs 70%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Dicey Elementalist sells 13 one-off in-app purchases and Idle Chest sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Dicey Elementalist holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dicey Elementalist has 5.1K ratings behind it against 109, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Dicey Elementalist's written reviews are positive against 81% of Idle Chest's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Dicey Elementalist ships an update monthly, Idle Chest every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
