Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Roll Solver at none against Q's 2. Roll Solver also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 68%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Q's advantage is ratings volume (2.5K vs 5) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Roll Solver holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Q has 2.5K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 68% of Q's written reviews are positive against 100% of Roll Solver's.
