Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Progress at 4.0 against Make Dice's 3.3. Progress also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (30 vs 3). Make Dice's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and price ($2.99 vs $3.99). On review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
