Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Simple Dice at none against MasterDex's shown. Simple Dice also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.6). MasterDex's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (1.8K vs 92). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Simple Dice sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and MasterDex sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
