# Dissolve vs Dice Versa

Dissolve and Dice Versa both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 83% of Dissolve's written reviews are positive against 67% of Dice Versa's. Dice Versa's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, rating, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dissolve sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Dice Versa sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Dice Versa holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 107 and 319 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Dissolve's written reviews are positive against 67% of Dice Versa's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Dissolve ships an update fortnightly, Dice Versa every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 7, 2026 and August 29, 2026 respectively.
