# Roll Machine vs Idle Oil Tycoon

The clearest difference is rating: Roll Machine at 4.6 against Idle Oil Tycoon's 1.9. Roll Machine also leads on ratings volume (6.2K vs 33) and review sentiment (22% vs 8%). Idle Oil Tycoon's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Roll Machine sells 20 one-off in-app purchases and Idle Oil Tycoon sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Roll Machine holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Roll Machine has 6.2K ratings behind it against 33, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 22% of Roll Machine's written reviews are positive against 8% of Idle Oil Tycoon's.

Roll Machine ships an update every 3 weeks, Idle Oil Tycoon every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
