Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Dice. at 4.6 against Shake 'em Dice's 3.6. Dice. also leads on ratings volume (1.6K vs 289). Shake 'em Dice's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 13 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Dice. sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Shake 'em Dice sells 11 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 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dice. has 1.6K ratings behind it against 289, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Dice.'s written reviews are positive against 63% of Shake 'em Dice's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Dice. ships an update every 13 months, Shake 'em Dice weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
