# Merge Robbers vs Roll Machine

The clearest difference is rating: Roll Machine at 4.6 against Merge Robbers's 4.4. Roll Machine also leads on ratings volume (6.2K vs 823). Merge Robbers's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Merge Robbers sells 13 one-off in-app purchases and Roll Machine sells 20 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Roll Machine holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Roll Machine has 6.2K ratings behind it against 823, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of Merge Robbers's written reviews are positive against 22% of Roll Machine's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
