Backgammon Classic Dice's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

FaceMe Backgammon holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FaceMe Backgammon has 486 ratings behind it against 62, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of FaceMe Backgammon's written reviews are positive against 60% of Backgammon Classic Dice's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

FaceMe Backgammon ships an update every 2 months, Backgammon Classic Dice every 7 months. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
