Trademarks and copyrights for them are wholly owned by Games Workshop, and I make no claims to them. You will need your own copies of the games to play, and you will probably still want your own dice. About Chartreuse Necktie: I'm an independent developer, writing apps to make my life better.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: DieHammer at 5.0 against Role Gate's 3.7. DieHammer also leads on update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). Role Gate's advantage is ratings volume (32 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
