Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: FaceMe Backgammon at 4.5 against Backgammon Classic Dice's 3.7. FaceMe Backgammon also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (486 vs 62). 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.

Both are free to download. FaceMe Backgammon sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per year. Backgammon Classic Dice asks for nothing beyond the download.
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.
FaceMe Backgammon ships an update every 2 months, Backgammon Classic Dice every 7 months. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
