# Sand Bricks vs Roll

Sand Bricks and Roll both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 78% of Roll's written reviews are positive against 12% of Sand Bricks's. Roll also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). Sand Bricks's advantage is ratings volume (5.6K vs 439). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sand Bricks sells 14 one-off in-app purchases and Roll sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Sand Bricks against 4.6 for Roll. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sand Bricks has 5.6K ratings behind it against 439, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 12% of Sand Bricks's written reviews are positive against 78% of Roll's.

Sand Bricks ships an update fortnightly, Roll weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
