# D&D Character vs Cantus Studio

The clearest difference is rating: Cantus Studio at 5.0 against D&D Character's 4.2. D&D Character's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. D&D Character sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Cantus Studio sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cantus Studio holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: D&D Character has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

D&D Character ships an update every 2 weeks, Cantus Studio fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
