Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Thirdvote at 100% against D&D Beyond's 54%. Thirdvote also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 29) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). D&D Beyond's advantage is ratings volume (91K vs 46) and chart position (#65 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
