# D&D Beyond vs Turnity

The clearest difference is ads: Turnity at none against D&D Beyond's shown. Turnity also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). D&D Beyond's advantage is ratings volume (92K vs 2) and chart position (#64 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. D&D Beyond sells 28 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Turnity sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Turnity holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: D&D Beyond has 92K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

D&D Beyond ships an update every 3 weeks, Turnity weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
