# Roll vs Loop Hero

The clearest difference is rating: Loop Hero at 4.9 against Roll's 4.6. Loop Hero also leads on ratings volume (3.9K vs 439). Roll's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

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

Loop Hero holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Loop Hero has 3.9K ratings behind it against 439, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Roll's written reviews are positive against 75% of Loop Hero's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Roll ships an update weekly, Loop Hero every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
