# Dice. vs 暗棋2

The clearest difference is rating: Dice. at 4.6 against 暗棋2's 4.0. Dice. also leads on ratings volume (1.6K vs 1). 暗棋2's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 13 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dice. sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and 暗棋2 sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Dice. holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dice. has 1.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 51% of Dice.'s written reviews are positive against 50% of 暗棋2's.

Dice. ships an update every 13 months, 暗棋2 every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
