# Gear Clicker vs Roll

Gear Clicker and Roll both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 78% of Roll's written reviews are positive against 20% of Gear Clicker's. Roll also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Gear Clicker's advantage is ratings volume (32K vs 439). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Gear Clicker sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Roll sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Roll holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gear Clicker has 32K ratings behind it against 439, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 20% of Gear Clicker's written reviews are positive against 78% of Roll's.
